Answer:
The dependent variable depends on the value of some other number also known as the independent variable. Another way to put it is the dependent variable is the output value and the independent variable is the input value. So for y=x+3, when you input x=2, the output is y = 5.
The images are some examples.
I think it's y=-1/2x+8
Because if you use two and seven for example you could substitute the x and have:
y=-1/2(2)+8
y=-1+8
y=7
which proves the equation correct
So the answer is y=-1/2x+8
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
It isn't A. A has to be something like y = -x^2 That minus sign directs the parabola downward.
It could be B which is something like y = x^3 - 5
C has an odd number of real roots (5). In other words it crosses the x axis 5 times. So let's make one of these up and graph it
y = (x^2 - 4)(x^2 - 1)(x + 3) Study this for a minute. The leading coefficient of this polynomial is plus 1. There are no negatives in front of the x. The highest degree is x^5. Now here's the key question: on the left side where does the graph start? In Quad three right? It's coming from the lower left. That is exactly what graph C is NOT doing. So for C the graph has a leading coefficient that is less than 0. a<0
Not C.
D is not the answer either. It opens downward and looks like it is something like y = - x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x - 2
