Answer:
a=1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
from the point on the graph
x=4 and y=8
substitute them into the equation:
y=a(x-2) (2x+4)
you will get
8=a(4-2) (2(4)+4)
8=a(2) (8+4)
8=a(2) (12)
8=2a×12
8=24a
divide both sides by 24
8/24=24a/24
1/3=a or a=1/3
Y = mx + b
m is your slope AKA rate of change
b is the y intercept.
from the graph we can see that the y intercept (b) is 15. (look at the y axis and see what point the line crosses on the y, here it is 15, in-between 10 and 20)
slope is rate of change. to figure this out remember slope = rise over run:

so pick two points. how much does one point rise after the other point you picked? In the graph it rises 1 square so rise = 1
Now looking at the same two points, how far away from each other are they on the x axis? Looking at the graph they are 2 squares away from each other. so run = 2
Now plug these numbers into the rise over run formula:

Now we have everything we need to put into our formula for a line:


For number 16 you should get:

after you do the same steps again yourself
(1, 1), 5 + 2 = 7, not that hard!

Answer:
Solution is x = 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is not a solution as √2*2 - 2 is not equal to -4.
