Answer:

m = -1/6.

b = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m =  (3 - 6) / (12 - -6)

=  -3 / 18

= -1/6.

y = -1/6 x + b

when x = 12 y = 3 so

3 = -1/6 * 12 + b

b =  3 + 2 = 5.

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find our intercept b from the equation of the straight line:

y - y₁ = m (x-x₁ )

point A(-6, 6)

x₁ = -6 and y₁ =6

m= -1/6 (as stated in the question)

Inputing this values in our equation, we have;

y - 6 = -1/6 ( x - -6)

y - 6 = -1/6(x+6)

y - 6 = -1/6x -1

y = -1/6x - 1 + 6

y= -1/6x + 5

comparing y= mx+b with the equation above; b=5

Sam purchased a new car for $17,930. The value of the car depreciated by 19% per year. When he trades the car in after x years,
In-s [12.5K]
What you must do in this case is to use the potential type function given in the problem:
 a (b) ^ x = c
 We have:
 new car for $ 17,930
 a = 17930
 The value of the car depreciated by 19% per year
 b = 1-0.19 = 0.81
 the car is worth no more than $ 1,900
 c = 1900
 the exponential inequality is:
 a (b) ^ x ≤ c
 17930 (0.81) ^ x ≤ 1900
 Answer:
 the exponential inequality is:
 17930 (0.81) ^ x ≤ 1900
 where
