Find the equation of a line passing through (2, 2) with slope -3/7

The equation of a line passes through a given point (2, 2) and has a slope of -3/7. It is written in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + c): y = -3/7x + 20/7.

Finding the slope and y-intercept of 2x + 5y = 19

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a linear function is y = mx + c, where m represents the slope and c represents the y-intercept. In this case, the slope is -2/5 and the y-intercept is 19/5.

What is the domain and range of y = x² - 5?

For a polynomial function, the domain is all real numbers (-∞, ∞) since you can plug in any real number for x. The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to -5 ([-5, ∞]) because the graph is a parabola opening upwards with a vertex at -5.

Graphing a piecewise function

A piecewise-defined function has different rules for different parts of its domain. This function has two pieces: one rule for x ≤ 0 and another rule for x > 0. The graph consists of two lines: a horizontal line at y = -2 for x ≤ 0 and a line with slope 1 for x > 0.

Finding the composite function g(f(x)) for f(x) = -6x + 4 and g(x) = 2x + 7

The expression g(f(x)) represents a function composition, where we first apply f(x) to obtain an output, and then apply g(x) to that output. We substitute (-6x + 4) for x in the expression for g(x) and simplify to obtain -12x + 15.

Study Notes

Equation of a Line

  • Given a point (2, 2) and slope -3, the equation is y = -3x + 8
  • The slope of the line 2x + 5y = 19 is -2/5
  • The y-intercept is 19/5

Domain and Range

  • For the function y = x² - 5, the domain is all real numbers
  • The range is y ≥ -5

Piecewise Function

  • The function f(x) is defined as x + 1 if x ≤ 0 and x if x > 0.
  • The graph of this function has a point at (0, 1). When x=0, and when x=2 the function goes through point (2, 2).

Function Composition

  • Given f(x) = -6x + 4 and g(x) = 2x + 7, g(f(x)) = -12x + 15
