Answer:

Slope is -2/5 and y-intercept is -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope, we pick any two points and apply the slope formula

The slope formula is;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

To get the slope, we select any two points

That will be;

(-3/4, -1/30) and (1/4,-13/30)

Substituting these in the slope formula, we have:

m = (-13/30 + 1/30)/(1/4 + 3/4)

m = 12/30 = -2/5

Generally, the equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

m is slope and b is the y-intercept

We already have the slope, to get the y-intercept, we select any of the points

-3/5 = -2/5(2/3) + b

= -3/5 + 4/15 = b

b = (-9 + 4)/15 = -5/15 = -1/3

Slope is -2/5 and y-intercept is -1/3

Which of the following is not an example of a recursive sequence?

wolverine [178]

A recursive pattern is a sequence of numbers that entails a pattern between succeeding numbers. in this case, we can see that sequence 2 has an arithmetic difference of 9, that is the proceeding terms are 40, 49, 58.. The third one has also an arithmetic difference that is increasing by 3 each. The answer then is A which has no pattern.

A line passes through the points (-1,-1) and (5,8) which points lie on the same line?

djverab [1.8K]

Answer: all points $(x,y)$ that satisfy $y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is

$\frac{-1-8}{-1-5}=\frac{-9}{-6}=\frac{3}{2}$

So, substituting into point-slope form, the equation is

$y+1=\frac{3}{2}(x+1)\\\\y+1=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, all points $(x,y)$ that satisfy $y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$ will lie on the same line.

Transform the given quadratic function into vertex form f(x) = quadratic function into vertex form f(x) = quadratic function int

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Vertex form: $f(x) =(x +\frac{7}{2})^2 -\frac{53}{4}$

The vertex is $(-\frac{7}{2},-\frac{53}{4})$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a general quadratic function the form is:

$ax ^ 2 + bx + c$

For the function

$f(x) = x ^ 2+ 7x -1$

The values of the coefficients for the function are the following: $a = 1$ , $b =7$ , $c = -1$

Take the value of b and divide it by 2. Then, the result obtained squares it.

$\frac{b}{2}= \frac{7}{2}$

$(\frac{b}{2})^2=(\frac{7}{2})^2=\frac{49}{4}$

Add and subtract $\frac{49}{4}$

$f(x) = (x ^ 2 +7x +\frac{49}{4}) -\frac{49}{4}- 1$

Write the expression of the form

$f(x) = (x+\frac{b}{2})^2 +k$

$f(x) =(x +\frac{7}{2})^2 -\frac{53}{4}$

The vertex is $(-\frac{7}{2},-\frac{53}{4})$
