Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this problem, we will use the following formula to find the slope of the line

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(1,5) (2,7)

(7 - 5) / (2 - 1)

2 / 1

2 = m

next, we will substitute the slope and one of the points into the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and solve for b to find the y-intercept

y = mx + b

7 = (5)(2) + b

7 = 10 + b

-3 = b

finally, we put it all together into one equation

y = 2x - 3

Find the slope of (2,3) and (6,7)

Brut [27]

To find the slope, we must use the formula stated below.

Slope = Change in Y / Change in X = (Y1 - Y2) / (X1 - X2)

Since our coordinates are given as (X, Y), we must pick a coordinate to be #1, and the other coordinate will be #2.

I'll use the first coordinate as our #1.

(3 - 6) / (2 - 7) = (-3) / (-5) = 3/5 which is our answer

Determine whether the following function is one-to-one. f ( x ) = 6 x + 1

seraphim [82]

Answer:

one to one function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=6x+1 can only be a one to one function when x1=x2

Now,

f(x1)=f(x2)

or, 6x1 + 1 = 6x2 + 1

or, 6x1 = 6x2

or, x1 = x2

So f(x)= 6x + 1 is a one to one function
