The graphs of functions f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k are shown below:

The value of k is ___. Numerical Answers Expected!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

g(x) is f(x) but has been vertically shifted. Measure from the left side of the line. The old line started where? The new line now starts where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be -2

zepdrix (zepdrix):

You have the correct value, but wrong `sign`. The k forced g(x) to move `upward`. So we want a positive 2.

Thank you I have one more can you help

zepdrix (zepdrix):

sure

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-5, 1) with a slope of three halves. y - 5 = three halves(x + 1) y + 1 = three halves(x - 5) y + 5 = three halves(x - 1) y - 1 = three halves(x + 5)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The point-slope form of a line is: \(\Large\rm y-y_o=m(x-x_o)\) Where \(\Large\rm (x_o,y_o)\) is the given point. and \(\Large\rm m\) is the slope.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So just plug those values in! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be the 4th answer

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yes, good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help with one more before I go, can you help.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

class starting soon, i might have to go, but ya i can try to help.

The graph below plots a function f(x):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If x represent time, the average rate of change of the function f(x) in the first three seconds is ___. Numerical Answers Expected!

OpenStudy (bradely):

slope m =3/2 point (-5,11) (y-1)=(3/2)(x+5) option 4 is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is 80

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So at 3 seconds, the y-value is 220. At 0 seconds, the y-value is 100. If we write these as ordered pairs, \(\Large\rm (0,100)\), \(\Large\rm \qquad (3,220)\) We can use the slope formula to find the rate of change, \(\Large\rm m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

80? Hmm, I'm coming up with something smaller.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about 60

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Now it feels like you're just guessing -_- Plug in the numbers, calculate the slope :3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\(\Large\rm m=\dfrac{220-100}{3-0}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I divide by 3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

120/3 = 40 i think, yes.....?
