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

Part A: Which function(s) could have at most 1 x-intercept? Select all that apply.

Art [367]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear functions are the ones that can have at most 1 x-intercept. Specifically, slant lines and vertical lines have this characteristic.

The quadratic function doesn't have this characteristic because there are cases where it intercepts x-axis at two points (concave down).

Additionally, the exponential function doesn't have any x-intercept, because its range is restricted.

Therefore, the right asnwer is the linear function

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points.<br><br> (2, 5), (0, 5)<br><br> Y =

vodomira [7]

Right off the bat we know that the y-intercept is going to be 5 because of the second co-ordinate.

Now for the slope, because the y co-ordinate doesn't change, it has no slope so the equation is simply: y=5

Hope this helps :)
