Answer:

y=\frac{-3}{5}x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the point (-5, -3), and a slope of -3/5

We want to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately plug it into the equation

y=\frac{-3}{5}x+b

We need to find b, though

We can use (-5, -3) to help us, as the equation will pass through that line

Substitute the value of x as -5 and the value of y as -3 to solve for b

-3=\frac{-3}{5}*-5+b

Now, on the right, multiply -3/5 and 5 together

-3=3+b

Subtract 3 from both sides

-6=b

Substitute 6 as b in the equation

y=\frac{-3}{5}x-6

Hope this helps!

What is the average rate of change of the function on the interval from x = 1 to x = 2?
neonofarm [45]

x=1 f = 10(5.5)(1) = 55

x=2, f = 10(5.5)(2) = 110

110-55 = 55

2-1 =1

55/1 = 55

 average rate of change = 55

What is the y-intercept of the function,represented by the table of values below?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.
