Answer:
Y-intercept: (0,-0.7)
X-intercept: (-1.2,0)
Explanation:
The Y-intercept is the spot where the line crosses the Y axis (the vertical axis). This always occurs where X=0. For this problem the Y value at this point is -0.7. So, for the coordinates (X,Y) X is 0 and Y is -0.7 so it is (0,-0.7)
The X-intercept is the spot where the line crosses the X axis (the horizontal axis). This always occurs where Y=0. For this problem the X value at this point is -1.2. So, for the coordinates (X,Y) X is -1.2 and Y is 0 so it is (0,-0.7)
Point R is the midpoint of FE¯¯¯¯¯ , so the coordinates of point R are (3a, b).
In △DEF , the length of the base, DF¯¯¯¯¯ , is
4a, and the height is 2b, so its area is
1/2×4a×2b = 4ab.
In △QRP , the length of the base, QR¯¯¯¯¯ , is
3a-a = 2a, and the height is b, so its area is 1/2×2a×b = ab .
Comparing the expressions for the areas proves that the area of the triangle created by joining the midpoints of an isosceles triangle is one-fourth the area of the larger isosceles triangle.
The piecewise function tells us specific rules he should execute based on the input x we put in. For example for answer A is true since we use the top function f(x) = -x + 1 since the input is -1 which is less than 0 (x < 0). We check to make sure the equation comes out true:
f(-1) = -(-1) + 1
f(-1) = 2 ✓
