For each of the following equations say whether it is a horizontal or vertical line and state the slope of the line. 1. x = - 2 2. y = -8 3. x = 15 4. y = -4

26) -2(7x) = (-2 • 7) x a. associative property of addition b. associative property of multiplication c. commutative property of multiplication d. commutative property of addition

Arrange the steps to solve this system of linear equations in the correct sequence. x + y = -2 2x – 3y = -9 tiles subtract 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) from 2x – 3y = -9 (given) to solve for x. substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 1. the solution for the system of equations is (-3, 1). x = -15 the solution for the system of equations is (-15, 13). add 3x + 3y = -6 (obtained in step 1) to 2x – 3y = -9 (given), and solve for x. x = -3 substitute the value of x in the first equation (x + y = -2) to get y = 13. multiply the first equation by 3: 3(x + y) = 3(-2) 3x + 3y = -6.

Given the functions, f(x) = 2x^2 - 1 and g(x) = 5x, find f(g(x)) and g(f(
