when writing the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, how can you determine the value of m in y=mx+b if you know the coor

dinates of two points on the line?

Answer:

y = -2.5 x + 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is written as

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

a) We can find the slope of the line passing through (-1,30 and (-4, 5) by subtracting the y coordinates and dividing the difference by the difference if the x coordinates:

m = (5 - 3 )  = 2

     -4 - (-1)    -3

Now use this slope and substitute the coordinates of either of the given points to find the y-intercept, b . Let's use (-1,3):

y = mx + b

3 = -2 • -1 + b

3

3= 2 + b

3

7  = b

3

The equation of the line will be y = -2 x +  7

3 3

b) Using y = mx + b, we can substitute -2.5 for the slope and use the point to find the y-intercept:

y = -2.5x + b

1.5 = -2.5 • 2 + b

1.5 = -5 + b

6.5 = b

The equation of the line will be:

y = -2.5 x + 6.5

f(x)=x^2; vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2 and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down​
NeX [460]

The image of the function f(x) after vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2

and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down​

is g(x) = \frac{1}{2} x² - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise:

1. The vertical shrink

A vertical shrinking is the squeezing of the graph toward the x-axis.

if 0 < k < 1 (a fraction), the graph of y = k•f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically

shrunk by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k

2. The reflection

If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then its image is g(x) = f(-x)

3. Vertical translation

If the function f(x) translated vertically up  by m units, then its image

is g(x) = f(x) + m

If the function f(x) translated vertically down  by m units, then its image

is g(x) = f(x) - m

Now let us solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x²

∵ f(x) shrunk by a factor of \frac{1}{2}

∴ The image of f(x) = \frac{1}{2} x²

∵ The image of f(x) reflected across y-axis

∴ The sign of x will change

∴ The new image of f(x) = \frac{1}{2} (-x)²

∵ The new image of f(x) translated 1 unit down

∴ We will subtract the new image of f(x) by 1

∴ The last image of f(x) is g(x) = \frac{1}{2} (-x)² - 1

<em>V.I.Note:</em>

(-x)² = x² because even exponents reject the negative sign

The image of the function f(x) after vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2

and a reflection in the y-axis, followed by a translation 1 unit down​

is g(x) = \frac{1}{2} x² - 1
