The equation of the given line is y = 5/6x - 2

The standard equation of a line in slope-intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + b

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept

Using the coordinate point (0, -2) and (-6, 3)

Slope m = 3-(-2)/-6-0

m = 5/6

Since the line cuts the y-axis at y = -2, hence the y-intercept is -2.

Find the equation of a line;

y = mx + b

y = 5/6x + (-2)

y = 5/6x - 2

Hence the equation of the given line is y = 5/6x - 2

For one photography session, Dexter earns no less than $50, but no more than $100. Which inequality can be used to represent his

Igoryamba

To answer let e be the amount of Dexter's earning. From the given conditions, it is implied that this value should be equal or more than $50. Further, this amount should also be less than or equal to $100. Mathematically, this can be expressed as,
50 ≤ e ≤ 100
The answer is letter D.

Given a function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D3x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B2x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3"

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f(-1) = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this function, we need to substitute in our value of x inside to find f(x). Since we are trying to evalue f(-1), we will substitute -1 in as x to our equation.

$f(-1) = 3(-1)^4 - 5(-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 3$

Now we can solve for the function by multiplying/subtracting/adding our known values.

Starting with the first term to the last term:

$3(-1)^4 = 3$

WAIT! How is this possible? $-1^4 = -1$ (according to my calculator), and $3 \cdot -1 = -3$ , not 3!

It's important to note that taking a power of a negative number and multiplying a negative number are two different things. Let's use $-2^2$ as an example.

What your calculator did was follow BEMDAS since it wasn't explicitly told not to.

BEMDAS:

- Brackets

- Exponents

- Multiplication/Division

- Addition/Subtraction

Examining the equation, your calculator used this rule properly. Note that exponents come over multiplication.

So rather than being "-2 squared" - it's "the negative of of 2 squared."

Tying this back into our problem, the squared method would only be true if it looks like $-1^4$ . However, since we're substituting in -1, it looks like $(-1)^4$ , so the expression reads out as "-1 to the fourth."
