Answer:

C. x+y=5; -2x+y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line in Table A is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (-6 -(-4))/(11 -9) = -2/2 = -1

The slope of the line in Table B is ...

m = (-8 -20)/(-5 -9) = -28/-14 = 2

We observe that the slopes have different signs. This means the signs of the terms in the standard form equation will be different from one equation to the other. The only pair of equations for which that is true is the pair in choice C.

Trying these equations on the first line of the tables, we see they match the table values.

Table A: 9 +(-4) = 5 . . . true

Table B: -2(9) +20 = 2 . . . true

_____

Additional comment

Neither equation in choice A has the correct slope for either table. The equations in choice B are inconsistent, both having slope -1, but different y-intercepts.

Evaluate the function f (x)  4 • 7x for x  1 and x = 2. Show your work

SashulF [63]

The function and the first value stated for x are confusing.

Doing some research, I found that the problem is to evaluate the function $f(x)=4.7^x$ for x = - 1 and x 2.

The solution is:

1) For x = - 1

$f(-1)=4. 7^{-1} =4. (1/7)=4/7$

2) For x = 2

$f(2)=4.7^2=4(49)=196$
