Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (0,2) and (-2,10).

Given data

x1= 0

x2= -2

y1= 2

y2=10

The expression for the gradient is given as

M= y2-y1/x2-x1

substitute

M= 10-2/-2-0

M= 8/-2

m= -4

Hence the gradient is -4

What is 15 = -y + 10

Murrr4er [49]

It's a simple linear equation in a single variable, 'y' . Its solution is the number
that 'y' must be in order to make the equation a true statement. Here's how to
find the solution:

Write the equation: 15 = -y + 10

Subtract 10 from each side: 5 = -y

Multiply each side by -1 : -5 = y

HELPPP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{0-2}{4-0}$ = $\frac{-2}{4}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

the y- intercept is the value of y where the line crosses the y- axis , then

y- intercept = 2

If f(x)=4x^2+1 and g(x)=x^2-5 find(f+g)(x)

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{(f+g)(x)=5x^2+6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\\\f(x)=4x^2+1,\ g(x)=x^2-5\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(f+g)(x)=(4x^2+1)+(x^2-5)\\\\=4x^2+1+x^2-5\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(4x^2+x^2)+(1+5)\\\\=5x^2+6$
