Answer:

I'm not giving a straight answer but each sentences relates to the ones in the pic you attached ;) This is the right order.

Step-by-step explanation:

STEPS:

1. Using your straightedge, draw a reference line, if one is not provided.

2. Copy the side of the square onto the reference line, starting at a point labeled A'.

3. Construct a perpendicular at point B' to the line through ab2.

4. Place your compass point at B', and copy the side of the square onto the perpendicular b'g. Label the end of the segment copy as point C.

5. With your compass still set at a span representing AB, place the compass point at C and swing an arc to the left.

6. Holding this same span, place the compass point at A' and swing an arc intersecting with the previous arc. Label the point of intersection as D.

7. Connect points A' to D, D to C, and C to B' to form a square.

The equation f(x)= 2/3 x + 1 is giving me some hard times can anyone help?

hjlf

F(x) = 2/3x + 1

This is in the slope-intercept form of an equation for a line.
Which is written as this: (Note f(x)= is the same as saying y= in this case)

y = mx + b

M is our slope. Slope is the RISE over the RUN

In other words it is y/x
For this graph y represents distance, and x represents time. (Life Tip: TIME is almost ALWAYS the X value)

In this case M = 2/3

So her speed is:
2 units/3 units

B is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the X-value equals 0. So, (0,y). Because the y-intercept is distance she should have a y-intercept of 0. (The origin) because that would mean at the start of the race she had no distance (aka she was at the starting line).

Because her y-intercept (b) = 1 she did have a head start.

Here are both the answers at once to make it easier for you:
Speed (Replace Units with whatever units you were given. Distance Units go on top. Time units on bottom. Example: Meters/Second))
2 units/3 units

Did she have a head start? (Unit being whatever distance unit you were given)
Yes, 1 unit.

Which graph represents the function on the interval [-3 , 3] ?<br><br> f(x)= [x]-3

seropon [69]

Answer:

the graph that best corresponds to the function in the given interval is the down left graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : f(x)= [x]-3 and graph .

To find : Which graph represents the function on the interval [-3 , 3] ?

Solution : Let's evaluate the extremes of the interval in given function f(x).

X= -3, f( -3 )= [ -3 ] - 3 .

f( -3 ) = -6 .

X= 3, f( 3 )= [ 3 ] - 3 .

f( 3 ) = 0.

Therefore, the graph that best corresponds to the function in the given interval is the down left graph.
