I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
Step 1: Write out the function given
Step 2: Interprete the question given
The question requested we find the summation of the first five terms for f(k/2), when k is 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
Step 3: Find the expression for f(k/2)
Hence, the answer is 33.75
Answer:
The first step to solve the equation below is to first distribute the 2 to (x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x+7) = -4x + 14
2x + 14 = -4x + 14
Answer:
y + 1 = 3(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given point is (1,-1) meaning that x1 = 1 and y1 = -1
The slope of this line is m = 3 because we go up 3 and over to the right 1 (eg: go from the point (1,-1) to (2,2) to see this in action)
Plug these three pieces of info into the point slope formula below
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-1) = 3(x - 1)
y + 1 = 3(x - 1)
