Answer:

y - 12 = (-4/5)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

1. Find the slope. As we go from (-1, 12) to (4, 8), x (the run) increases by 5 and y (the rise) decreases by 4. Thus, the slope is m = rise/run = -4/5.

2. Plug into the formula (given above) the following:

-4/5 for m, -1 for x and 12 for y:

y - 12 = (-4/5)(x + 1)

Answer:

1. 144 2. 16 3. 1 4. 3x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

So think of this as a function in a function. So you work from the inside to the outside. So for problem 1, we start with f(4)) [you read it "f of 4"] so what is the solution when x = 4, since f(x) means the function of x so f(4) means 'the function of 4' inside f(x).

Since f(x) = 3x then f(4) = 3(4) [notice how you substitute the 4 everywhere you see a letter x]

so f(4) = 12, now you work the next part h(f(4)) since f(4)=12 then h(12)

So take the h(x) function which is h(x) = $x^{2}$ then h(12) = $12^{2}$ so h(12) = 144
