Which equation represents the polynomial function with zeros –3, 1, and 2, and a y-intercept of –12?

3.4 pizzas

step-by-step explanation:

given is a scatter plot showing number of pizzas sold during weeks for different issues of coupon

y represents number of pizzas sold and x number of coupons issued

y is marked verticaly and x horizontally

the trend line is given as

y =3.4x+43

this says that even when no coupon is issued pizzas sold will be 43

and rate of change of pizza sold for 1 unit of coupon = slope = 3.4

i.e. when x increases by 1 unit y increases by 3.4 units

hence for each additional coupon issued 3.4 pizzas more will be sold

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
