write an equation that is parallel to the equation (-3,-5) and (1,7) and goes through the point (2,4)

You didn't give an original equation, just the two points so I'm just going to go ahead and assume that b = 0, but in reality, it doesn't really matter what it equals I think.

Slope intercept form:

First, we find the slope, so we do y1-y2/x1-x2 which is 3. So then we do y=mx+b so 4=3(2)+b. Then we do 4=6+b. So, b = -2.

So the equation is y=3x-2

Find the slope which we already know. Plug into y-y1=m(x-x1).

y-4=3(x-2)

y-4=3x+6

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
