Algebra 2 help please :)
Question?
Sure
What do you need for Algebra 2?
What is the slope intercept form equation of the line that passes through (2,4) and (4,10) A. y=-3x-2 B. y=-3x+2 C. y=3x+2 D. y=3x-2
First find the slope using the points they gave you. Do you know how to do that?
y=mx+b? right
No, that's the slope-intercept form of an equation.
Slope formula is this:
\[m=\frac{ y _{2} -y _{1}}{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
no no the slope would be m=3? right?
Using your points fill the formula in like this:
sorry I got confused
NP : )
\[m=\frac{ 10-4 }{ 4-2 }=\frac{ 6 }{ 2 }=3\]
So the slope would be m=3
You were right...the slope is 3. Now use one of your points to write the equation. Use the point-slope formula. Do you know it?
y=y1=m(x-x1) ?
y-y1=m(x-x1)**
Yes that's it. Now pick a point and fill in your y1 and x1, using the slope of 3 that you found. Can you do that?
y-4=3(x-2) ??? @IMStuck
So sorry, was doing calculus and acceleration!
its okay! :)
Yes that is the right equation using the point (2,4) and the slope of 3. Good!
Now you just have to rewrite it using the slope-intercept form of the equation. Solve it for y. Can you do that?
y=3x+2 ?
Close...it's y = 3x-2. When you distribute the 3 into the parenthesis, you get 3x-6, so when you add the 4, you have a -2, not a +2.
Do you see your error?
Yes I see where I went wrong. I didnt put the negative on the 2
Could you help me with a few more sorry if im bothering you
Hey can help
I mean can try
Thank you :)
Ok
No problem
Warning I am NOT GOOD AT MATH
given the function f(x)=6(x+2)-3 solve for the inverse function when x=21 A.-45 B.0 C.2 D.63
Lol its okay. Im not either
what do not know just a sec ill look it up on a calculator :)
Is that okay?
Yes thats fine :)
Here ill give you the links of the ones I'm going to use. http://www.wolframalpha.com/ and https://www.mathway.com/
Thank you:)
Your welcome click on this-> http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=f%28x%29%3D6%28x%2B2%29-3
And see if this is your answer
No i didnt see the answer on there but its okay
This should be the answer okay? (click on link.) https://www.mathway.com/ and type in the problem here is what I see f-1(x)=1/6x- 3/2 this sign / like with the 1/6 and the 3/2 these are fractions but type it in to make sure okay? :)
