Question says that "Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2.4 miles to the park, four times around the park, and 2.4 miles back from the park. To represent that inequality, he wrote: 2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1"
We see a blank space before 26.1.
So we need to fill the suitable inequality symbol from <, >, ≤ and ≥.
In given expression "2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1", left side part "2.4 + 4p + 2.4", represents the total length of the path that Jason wants to cover this week.
He has decided to run more than 26.1 miles so that means the sum "2.4 + 4p + 2.4" must be greater than 26.1 miles.
Hence we will use > symbol so that left side becomes greater than the right side part.
So the final answer will be :
2.4 + 4p + 2.4 > 26.1
Written in 2-point form, the equation of the line is
y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)·(x-x1) +y1
y = (3-(-5))/(-6-(-4))·(x-(-4)) + (-5)
y = 8/-2·(x +4) - 5
y = -4x -21
The value of b is -21.
The question is incomplete. But this explanation will help you very much.
1) Regarding the function

,
its graph always passes through the points (1,0) and (a,1).That is due to the properties of logarithm function:
a)

b)

<span>
That in turn is due to the properties of the exponential functions.
a^0 = 1 and a^1 = a
</span>
2) Regarding the y-axis.
The function

will never touch the y-axis, because the logaritm of zero is not defined. So
the graph lies to the righ of the y-axis (i.e. the domain of the function is x > 0)
This is the same as averaging. You add them and divide by 2.
((m/n) + (p/q))/2 would be a number in between m/n and p/q.
Do note that n and q must be nonzero, but luckily that is a given.
