i think its a /.\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on lemme see.....

You know that the only choices with perpendicular slope are C and D. The question is the y-intercept at which this perpendicular line would be passing through (-1,7). So... just say y=4x+b plug in your point. 7=4(-1)+b 7=-4+b 11=b So, you found the y-intercept to be 11... RE-write the equation... y=4x+11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh i was kinda close lol so its D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah on this question, hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, by "function" in your question, do you that it must be a linear function, or can be exponential or other as well ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you ever heard that a function can be a "linear function", or a strait line "exponential function" a curve function that represents a shape (forgot the exact name, but) for example a parallelogram can as well be a function (but not linear of course).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i think i have that in my notes

So, in your question... in order for the table (A or B) be a function it must be linear? Alright, I'll assume so, - it must be linear...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Table A y x 3 1 2 0 1 0 is not a function, because the only way you get (2,0) and (1,0) in a linear function is a line y=0, but the 1st point, (3,1) is not on the y=0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

table B y x 3 -2 3 1 5 2 the only time you can get (3,-2) and (3,1) is on the line x=3... HOWEVER (5,2) is not one of the points on x=3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you! imma take notes of all of this !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) You welcome !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But this is without a background... if you want, I can give you a better idea of what a function and all of that staff . Only if you want though, you don't have to .
