Answer:

m = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from point (1,4) to point (3,-8), x increases by 2 and y decreases by 12. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -12/2 = -6.

Answer: ⁻6 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope use the slope equation: m=y₁-y₂/x₁-x₂

Sub: m= ⁻8-4/3-1

Solve: m= ⁻12/2

Sam: m= ⁻6/1 or -6

A student raises her grade average from a 75 to a 90. What was the percent of increase

son4ous [18]

This can be solved algebraically. Before we start, as context, to find a percentage you multiply by the percentage/100.

$75*x=90 \\ x= \frac{90}{75} \\ \\ \boxed{x=1.2}$

This tells us that 90 is 120% of 75. However, your question wants us to find the <em>increase</em>, therefore we don't need that 100.
Therefore, the increase is 20%.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

1). Shifted 2 units right.

2). Shifted 2 units left.

3). Shifted 2 units up.

4). Shifted 2 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent quadratic function is,

y = x²

1). When curved pit of the parent function is shifted 2 units right,

Translated function will be,

y = (x - 2)²

2). The curved pit is shifted 2 units left,

y = (x + 2)²

3). The curved pit is shifted 2 units up,

y = x² + 2

4). The curved pit is shifted 2 units down,

y = x² - 2
