The graph of the function f(x) is shown.
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 2
x = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is of function f(x) = x²
Therefore, to find where the function intersects with y = 0.5x + 3,
equal the functions and solve for x:
⇒ x² = 0.5x + 3
⇒ x² - 0.5x - 3 = 0
Multiply both sides by 2:
⇒ 2x² - x - 6 = 0
Factor:
⇒ 2x² - 4x + 3x - 6 = 0
⇒ 2x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0
⇒ (x - 2)(2x + 3) = 0
Therefore:
(x - 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2
(2x + 3) = 0 ⇒ x = -1.5

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
4x - 3y = 15
====================================================
Explanation:
The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line
Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.
The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.
-------------
Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.
Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.
Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.
Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.
Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.
- slope of equation B is 3/4
- slope of equation C is -4/3
- slope of equation D is 4/3
We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.
You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.
Answer:
The slope of the line is .
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the formula change in y over change in x to find the slope:
Then we simplify:
The slope of the line is .
