I need a helping hand please Joseph compared the graphs of two functions.

The first function was f(x)=−2x+6.
The second function fits the values in the table:
x 2 5 8 11
y 2 -4 -10 -16
What is the distance between the y-intercepts of the two functions? To earn full credit, show your work using a method explained in the Orientation.

There is no separation (distance) between the first y-intercept (6) and the second (6).

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll assume that the table shows points on a straight line.

If we go from x = 2 to x = 8 (an increase of 6), the corresponding y values go from y =2 to y = -10 (a decrease of 12).  Thus, the slope of the line represented by the table is

m = rise / run = -12/6, or m = -2.

We need to find the equation of the line represented by the table, so that we can know the y-intercept.  Start with y = mx + b and substitute -2 for m:

y = -2x + b.  We arbitrarily choose an ordered pair from the table, such as (11, -16).  Here we substitute 11 for x and -16 for y:

-16 = -2(11) + b, or

-16 = -22 + b, which yields b = 6.

This is the same y-intercept as the '6' in the given f(x) = -2x + 6.  So:  There is no separation (distance) between the first y-intercept (6) and the second (6).

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3

you need to give us more information since we can't answer
