Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is always the number (or a variable, typically m) directly attached to the variable x.

In this case, the slope is 5.

Answer:

The slope of y = 5x - 8 is 5.

Since this equation is already in slope-intercept form the slope of the graph is the coefficient of x, 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of y = 5x - 8 is 5.

Since this equation is already in slope-intercept form the slope of the graph is the coefficient of x, 5.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x * x = 7x

7 x 7 = 7 x 7

49 = 49

Let f(x) = 2x – 1, g(x) = 3x, and h(x) = x2 + 1. Compute the following.

yaroslaw [1]

4. Since f(x) = 2x - 1, we are looking for h(2x - 1), which is (2x-1)^2 + 1. By tha time you expand this you'll get, 4x^2 - 4x + 2. So that is the answer.
5. f(f(x)) = f(2x - 1) = 2(2x - 1) - 1 = 4x - 3
6. h(g(x)) = h(3x) = (3x)^2 + 1 = 9x^2 + 1

Ya'll fr get 50 points if you answer this. What is the rate of change of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D2%5Ex

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2^x\ln 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

**This is a non-linear function and therefore does not have a constant rate of change. It will have a different slope depending on what points you use in the average rate of change formula: $\mathsf{average \ rate \ of \ change = \dfrac{change \ in \ y}{change \ in \ x}}$
