Hey there!

2x^2 - 5 / x + 9

= 2(-1)^2 - 5/ -1 + 9
= (2(-1)^2 - 5) / (-1 + 9)

= (2(1) - 5) / 8

= (2 - 5) / 8

= -3 / 8

≈ -0.375

Therefore, your answer is:

-3/8 OR -0.375

EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO EACH OTHER!

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Please write an equation

Katen [24]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{5-2}{4-0}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2 ) ⇒ c = 2

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + 2 ← equation of line

A line passes through (-1,7)and(2, 10)

kumpel [21]

Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10 - 7)/(2 --1)
m = 3/3
m = 1

To find the equation
y = mx + b
m is slope
y = 1x + b
plug in one of the equations to solve for b
10 = 1(2) + b
10 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
8 = b

The equation is
y = 1x + 8
or you can write it as
y = x + 8

Hope this helps
