PLEASE HELP.
evaluate the function for the given value of x.

f(x)= |x-5| when x=2

f(x)=x^2+5x+1 when x=-1

the cost of a taxi ride depends on the distance traveled. you paid $8.50 for a 3 mile ride while your friend paid $18.50 for an 8 mile ride. What is the equation in point slope form?

a) 3
b) -3

anonymous · Answer

how did you get -3 for a ? @EricaKalmeta

anonymous · Answer

I mean 3

anonymous · Answer

when you substitute 2 for x the equation is f(x)=|2-5|.
this then becomes f(x)=|-3|, and the absolute value of -3 is 3 @khlaire
