18. Write the equation of the following line in function notation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two points from the graph, (-3, 1) and (1, -2). Use these points to solve for the slope using the following formula:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-3, 1)

     (x₂, y₂) = (1, -2)

Substitute these points into the formula:

m = -¾

Therefore, the slope of the given line is -¾.

Next, we need to determine the y-intercept, which is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis.  In order to solve for the y-intercept, we must use the slope, m = -¾, and one of the given points, (1, -2), and substitute these values into the slope-intercept form,  f(x) = mx + b:

f(x) = mx + b

-2 = -¾( 1 ) + b

-2 = -¾ + b

Add ¾ to both sides to solve for b:

-2 + ¾ = -¾ + ¾ + b

Given the slope, m = -¾, and y-intercept, b = , the equation of the line in function notation is:

i dont know

step-by-step explanation:

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
