Answer

a. See attached picture b. They have the same slope c. $y=-\frac{3}{5}x+12$ d. $(-\infty, +\infty)$ e. See attached picture f. From $(b)$, $m=-\frac{3}{5}$ g. $x$ intercept: $(20,0)$ $\enspace$ $y$ intercept: $(0,12)$

Work Step by Step

a. See attached picture b. $(20,0), (15,3), (10,6),$ and $(5,9)$ At point $(20,0)$ and $(15,3)$ $m=\frac{3-0}{15-20}=-\frac{3}{5}$ At point $(15,3)$ and $(10,6)$ $m=\frac{6-3}{10-15}=-\frac{3}{5}$ At point $(10,6)$ and $(5,9)$ $m=\frac{9-6}{5-10}=-\frac{3}{5}$ c. $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ $\enspace$ $y-0=-\frac{3}{5}(x-20)$ $\enspace$ $y=-\frac{3}{5}x+12$ d. The domain of a function is the set of input or argument values for which the function is real and defined. The function has no undefined points nor domain constraints. Therefore, the domain $−∞
