Hello there! So, y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form, where m represents the slope, b represents the y-intercept, and y and x remain unfilled. First off, let's solve for the slope. The formula for slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y coordinates from the second x and y coordinates. So it would be formed like this:

9 - 4 / 6 - (-4)

Let's subtract. 9 - 4 is 5. 6 - (-4) is 10. 5/10 is 1/2 in simplest form. The slope for this equation is 1/2. Now, let's find the y-intercept. We will find that by plugging one of the points into the equation and solving for b. The x and y coordinates will be filled in by that coordinate. Let's use (-4, 4) for this problem. We will also plug in the slope. In this case, the problem will look like this:

4 = (1/2)(-4) + b

Now, let's multiply 1/2 and -4 to get -2. Now, to get b by itself, subtract 2 to both sides to isolate the b. -2 + 2 cancels out. 4 + 2 is 6. b = 6. There. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 1/2x + 6.

What is the range of the function graphed below?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

[-4,0) ∪ [2, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

For piecewise function domain and range, we need to understand the difference between "(" and "["  or  ")" and "]"

  • The parenthesis ( "(" and ")" ) are used for "open circles" in the graph.
  • The brackets ( "[" and "]" ) are use for "closed circles" in the graph.

Range is the set of y-values for which the function is defined.

Now,

The upper part of the function shows the graph going from y = 2 towards infinity (arrow). At y = 2 , there is closed circle, so this part range would be

[2, ∞)  (infinity is always with parenthesis)

Now, looking at bottom part, the function is defined from 0 (open circle) to -4 (closed). so we can write:

[-4,0)

This is the range, 2nd answer choice is correct.

[-4,0) ∪ [2, ∞)

X+(-4)=-12 Solve the equation and enter the value of x below
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Add 4 to both sides </u>

x + (-4) = -12

x - 4 + 4 = -12 + 4

x = -8

Answer:  x = -8
