Answer:
y = - 5x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do (always) is pay attention to x =0. That at least gives you a partial answer. y = y' - 1. when you put 0 in for whatever y' is you get 0. What about the other numbers? How did they come about.
We have another clue. Whenever you put in a positive number for x, you get a negative answer for y. That's interesting. So y' has a minus sign associated with it.
y = -ax - 1 Make a>0 so there is only 1 minus sign. x cannot have an even power, because an even power would make everything positive except the -1.
So we'll start with y= - ax - 1 We'll also make the assumption that a = 1
y = - x - 1 That won't work. a >1 otherwise x = 2 won't give - 11
y = -ax - 1
let x = 2
let y = - 11 Solve for a
y = - ax - 1
- 11 = -a*-2 - 1 add 1 to both sides
-11 + 1 = - a(-2) - 1 + 1
- 10 = -2a Divide by - 2
- 10/-2 = -2a/-2
a = 5
Answer: y = - 5x - 1
Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
Answer: (-6, 5)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the Midpoint Formula: 
Separate the x's and y's and solve them individually:
So, the k-coordinate is (-6, 5)
Answer:
D) y= 4x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We are basically trying to see which of the equations provided are true on both sides of the equal sign when you plug in the x and y values.
Let's start!
Choice A:
plug in 0 for x and -1 for y
-1 = 4(0)
And you are left with...
-1 = 0
This equation is false! Therefore it does not match the function in the table
Choice B:
plug in the values again
-1 = 0 + 1
-1 = 1
False!
Choice C:
-1 = 0 + 5
-1 = 5
False!
Lastly...Choice D:
-1 = 4(0) -1
Multiply 4 and 0 which is 0, so you are left with...
-1 = -1
This equation is true!!
So your answer is D
Hope this helps :D
