Answer:

b. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=12

add -2x to both sides

y = -2x + 12

this is in slope intercept form y = mx + b

m meaning the slope

in this case the slope is -2

the answer will be b. -2

Answer:

b. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Note that:

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

First, isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

2x (-2x) + y = (-2x) + 12

y = -2x + 12

Remember, m is the variable for the term that stands for the slope (directly next to the x variable). In this case, your answer will be -2

b. -2 is your answer.

given the vector with a manitude of 9m at an angle a of -80 degrees, decompose this vector into two vector components oarallel t

lana [24]

Answer:

We have the magnitude, M, and the angle A.

(The angle is always measured from the +x-axis)

Then we have that:

x = M*cos(A)

y = M*sin(A)

in this case:

M = 9m

A = -80°

x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562

y = 9m*sin(-80) = -8.86m

Now, the component parallel to the x axis is:

x = 9m*cos(-80°) = 1.562 m

And the slope of something parallel to the x-axis is always zero, as this is a constant line.

the graph shown below expresses a redical function that can be written in the form f(x)= a(x+k)^1/n + c. what does the graph tel

Oliga [24]

The value of n given the form of the function is (b) positive odd number

<h3>How to interpret the graph?</h3>

The form of the graph is given as:

f(x) = a(x + k)^1/n + c

For the given graph, we have the following features:

a > 0 --- a is positive

k > 0 --- k is positive

c < 0 --- c is negative

If n is an even number, the function would be undefined because the even root of a number is undefined

However, the function is defined if n is an odd number,

Hence, the value of n given the form of the function is a positive odd number
