OK, my math teacher gave us a take home test and I have to get an A on it, but I am having some problems, well that and I am not sure if the answers I do have are right.
3 - Find the slope of the line through (-6, 3) and (23, -2)
I have -5/29
4- Determine whether each pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
x + 4y = 8 and 4x + y = 8
I put down neither because I put them into my graphing calculator and they didn't really look perpendicular. The two lines looked more like a giant X.
OK, here are the ones I am really having a problem with.
Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form
5- Though (12, 3); m= -4
6- Though (-9, 3), parallel to 2x - 5y = 35
7. Though (2, -7) and (-3, 1)
For 5 I have y = -4x + 45
For 6 I have y = 4/9x + 7
For 7 I have y = 8/5x + 61/5
9 - Which of the following does not define y as a function of x?
A- 3x - 2y = 9
C- {(2,3),(3,2),(2,-3)}
D- Several x y intercepts in t-chart form (0,1)(1,2)(2,3)(4,5)
Yes, there isn't a B answer
I don't even know where to start, we haven't really covered functions yet so I don't know how to determine them, even so I think the answer is C. Gut feeling I guess.
10- For f(x) = -3x^2 + 5x - 6 find a if f(-2)
I just plugged -2 in for every X and came out with an answer of -4
I am not sure if I can even describe number 8 online. It's a graph to represent data. x = 9 = 1999, x = 13 = 2003
y = 3.97 = total sales (in millions) for 1999 and y = 16.4 = total sales for 2003. They want it written in slope-intercept form.
I came up with an insane number which cannot possibly be right.
y = 9.1075x - 3.336775
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
