Answer:

y=3/2x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a point (-6,9) and a slope of 3/2

We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Since we already know the slope of the line as 3/2, we can substitute it as m into the equation:

y=3/2x+b

Now let's find b

Since the equation of the line passes through (-6,9), we can use it to help solve for b

Substitute -6 as x and 9 as y:

9=3/2(-6)+b

Multiply

9=-9+b

Add 9 to both sides

18=b

Substitute 18 as b into the equation.

y=3/2x+18

Hope this helps!

The graph of y=tan(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 7, shifted a distance of 12 units to the left, reflected across the

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

A transformation(s) of a parent function is

$f(x) = a(bx - c) + d$

where a is vertical compression/stretched or reflection

B is horinzotnal compression/stretch or reflection

C is horinzontal translation

D is vertical translation.

The parent function is

$y = \tan(x)$

First, we stretched this by 7

so we have

$y = 7 \tan(x)$

We need to shift this 12 units to the left so we have

$y = 7 \tan(x + 12)$

We need to reflect this across x axis so we get

$y = - 7 \tan(x + 12)$

We need to shift this downwards 15 so we get

$y = - 7 \tan(x + 12) - 15$

or because tan is a odd function you could say

$7 \tan( - (x + 12) ) - 15$

$7 \tan( - x - 12) - 15$
