Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of -2 means the slope is -2/1

from (3, - 8) you can find the y intercept by going backwords until x = 0

(2,-6)

(1,-4)

(0,-2)

so the y intercept is -2

y = -2x - 2

|×|=× is the absolute value of x always, sometimes, or never x

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

I’ll give you an example so you can understand:

Let’s say x is 4. So plug 4 into the problem:

|4|=4 → This is a very true statement, where the absolute value of 4 is equal to 4.

Now, let’s say x is -7. So plug -7 into the problem:

|-7|=-7 → This is a false statement because it’s saying that the absolute value of -7 is -7 which is very untrue.

So |x|=x only works for positive numbers, but not negative numbers. Therefore, |x|=x is the absolute value of x sometimes.

Hope this helps and answers your question! :)

Answer:

x = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

14^2 + b^2 = 50^2

196 + b^2 = 2500

-196 -196

b^2 = 2304

√b^2 = √2304

b = 48

Answer:

See attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is y-3=(x + 6)

Write the equation in a slope intercept form, then graph the equation on a graph tool to see the points that line on the line.

Alternatively , using the coordinates in the answer choices given, input them in the equation of the graph and select the answer choice that has all its coordinates true to the equation.

y-3 = x+6 -----can be written as : y= x+9

Graph y= x+9 to see the graph and the points that are on the line as attached.
