Answer:

slope is -2 (-8/4)

point slope formula y=y1=m(x-x1) m slope (x1, y1) point

y-4=-2(x-7)

y=-2x+18

Answer:

y=-2x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y-value is going down, we can assume that the line is going negative. As the midpoint is (5, 8), you should subtract 2 units from 3 and 4 units from 12 to get (1, 16) and therefore to get to (-1, 20), since the y-intercept is 18, the slope is 2, and it is going negative, your final answer is y=-2x+18.

f is a differentiable function on the interval [0, 1] and g(x) = f(4x). The table below gives values of f '(x). What is the valu

polet [3.4K]

The table is attached in the figure.

g(x) = f(4x) ⇒⇒⇒ differentiating both sides with respect to x

∴ g'(x) = $\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)] * \frac{d}{dx} [4x]=4*f'(x)$ ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ chain role
