Answer: f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is represented by

9x + 3y= 12

This is a linear equation with x as the independent variable. This means that if x is the independent variable, the y is the dependent variable. The values of y depends on the values of x. In order to represent the function, 9x + 3y= 12, we would rearrange the function such that y stands alone on the left hand side of the equation. This becomes

9x + 3y= 12

Subtracting 9x from both sides,

9x -9x + 3y = 12 - 9x

3y = 12-9x

Dividing the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3y/3 = (12-9x)/3

y= -3x + 4

using function notation,

y = f(x) = -3x + 4

Evaluate 8a-1+0.5b8a−1+0.5b8, a, minus, 1, plus, 0, point, 5, b when a=\dfrac14a=
professor190 [17]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

8a-1+0.5b

You need to substitute the given values of "a" and "b" into the expression. Notice that these values are:

a=\frac{1}{4}\\\\b=10

Then;

 8a-1+0.5b=8(\frac{1}{4})-1+0.5(10)

Now you must solve the multiplications:

=\frac{8}{4}-1+5=2-1+5

The final step is to add the numbers. Therefore, you get the following answer:

=6

Rectangle TUVW is on a coordinate plane at T (a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2), V (a + 5, b − 1), and W (a + 3, b − 3). What is the slope
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rectangle TUVW has coordinates T(a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2), V ( a + 5, b - 1) and W (a + 3, b - 3).

Given that the coordinates of T and U are T (a, b), and U (a + 2, b + 2), we have;

The slope, m of the line TU is is found by the following relation;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Where we put (x₁, y₁) = (a, b) and (x₂, y₂) = (a + 2, b + 2), we have;

m = ((b + 2) - b)/((a + 2) - a) = 2/2 = 1

Whereby the slope of a line parallel to another line are equal, we have that the slope of the line parallel to the line that contains the side TU is also 1.

The table shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Hence, the model that best represents the data is:

y=26.9x-1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table that  shows the estimated number of lines of code written by computer programmers per hour when x people are working.

We are asked to find which model best represents the data?

So for finding this we will put the value of x in each of the functions and check which hold true that which gives the value of y i.e. f(x) as is given in the table:

We are given 4 functions as:

A)

y = 47(1.191)^x

B)

y=34\times (1.204)^x

C)

y=26.9x-1.3

D)

y=27x-4

We make the table of these values at different values of x.

x                  A                 B                C               D

2              66.66          49.3            52.5           50

4             94.57            71.44           106.3         104  

6             134.14           103.57         160.1          158

8             190.27          150.14          213.9         212

10           269.91           217.64         267.7         266

12           382.85          315.5           321.5          320.

Hence, the function that best represents the data is:

Option C.

y=26.9x-1.3
