Create the f(x) function based on the table. Your answer should be in function notation. X f(x) - 10 -6 -9 -5 1-8 -4 -7 1-3 5 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First create an equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. To do this, find the rate of change or slope (m), and the y-intercept (b).

Using two pairs, (-7, -3) and (-8, -4),

m = 1

To find b, substitute m = 1, x = -7 and y = -3 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

-3 = (1)(-7) + b

-3 = -7 + b

-3 + 7 = b

4 = b

b = 4.

Replace y with f(x), m with 1 and b with 4 in y = mx + b.

The function would be:

the answer would be 150 books

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 300 by 2 you will get 150

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
