Plotting that point puts us at a y value of -5 (the y coordinate of the point P). y=-8 is a straight horizontal line through y=-8, so the distance from -5 to -8 is 3. Remember that distance is never negative. Distance is measured using the absolute value of the numbers. So b is your choice.
Graph C is the correct option.
If you drew a straight line (mostly) connecting the points, it would be linear. A relationship is linear if one variable, in this case, x, increases by approximately the same rate as the other variables, in this case y.
If you drew lines connecting points on the other graphs, they wouldn’t resemble a straight line, therefore, they aren’t linear.
Answer:
a = -86.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:
P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0
-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0
-4a = 128 +176 + 40
-4a = 344
a = -86.
The velocity is 4. You didn’t say what you needed to find but I’m pretty sure it’s that
