<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:
m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.
The rule is:
y = 2x + b.
When x = 2, y = -5, hence:
-5 = 2(2) + b
b = -9.
Hence:
.

Answer:
A,B
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2x+y)
4•2x + 4•y
8x+4y
2(4x+2y)
2•4x + 2•2y
8x+4y
The values that make this statement falser are any in which a and b do not have the same sign.
For instance, if a was equal to 3 and b was equal to -3 than see the results.
|a+b|=
|3+-3|=
|0|= 0
Then see the next equation with the same selections
|a|+|b|
|3|+|-3|
3 + 3 = 6
And this would be true no matter which is the negative, as long as there is one negative and one positive.
there is no inverse though
Answer:
The box to the left will have the equation p(x) = 5x² and the box to the right will have the equation n(x) = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of the x² decides how wide or narrow a quadratic graph is. If the coefficient is a fraction of 1, the smaller the fraction the wider the graph gets. If the coefficient is a number bigger than 1, the bigger the number, the narrower the graph gets.
