Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 - x ≤17

At some point you are going to have to turn the equation around. This would not normally be your first step, but this time it is better to start with it.

We won't do it directly. The best way to do it is to add x to both sides before you do anything else. This is not the usual way to solve these equations, but it's a good time to learn.

Inequality Rule: you must always solve for x. If it is -x then you are going to have to make an adjustment to get the x to be positive.

9 - x ≤ 17                        Add x to both sides

9 - x+x ≤ 17 + x              Combine

9 ≤ 17 + x                      Subtract 17 from both sides.

9 - 17 ≤ 17 - 17 + x

8 ≤ x

Notice that you have effectively changed the ≤ sign around, not because you have, but because the x reads differently now. It started out 9 - x ≤ 17 and when you finish solving it you get 8 is less than or equal to x. Entirely different.

Answer:

y=-3/2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the slope by taking two points on the graph, and making the one that occurs earlier in the graph (from left to right) the first point (x1, y1) and the one that occurs later in the graph the second point (x2, y2). The equation is m (or slope)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). I took the first two points in the table for this. m=(12-18)/-4-(-8)

the double negative on the bottom becomes an addition=> (12-18)/(-4+8)

the top simplifies to be -6 and the bottom simplifies to 4=>-6/4

this fraction can be reduced to -3/2, which is the slope of the graph.

Now, use point slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)) to find the equation of the graph. Plug any coordinate on the graph in for x1 and y1 here. It should be correct as long as it is a point on the graph, but I am using the point (-8, 18) here.

=>y-18=-3/2(x-(-8))

the double negative in the parentheses becomes a positive=> y-18=-3/2(x+8)

distribute the -3/2 to every term in the parentheses=> y-18=-3/2x-12

add 18 to both sides, cancelling out the -18 on the left side of the equation=>y=-3/2x+6 (-12+18=6 to get 6 for b).

Therefore, the equation is y=-3/2x+6

I don’t know how to make a rule:(
Yuri [45]

Answer:

*assuming you know the concept of proportionality*

since L is directly proportional to T, an increase in L will result in an increase in T

so the solution of the first part is increases

in part 2, y is inversely proportional to x

which means that an increase in y will result in a decrease in x and vice-versa

So the answer of the second part is decreases

in part 3, since x is directly proportional to y, an increase in x will result in an increase in y
