Question

I need help please, thanks so much

Answer 1

`g(x)=-4`

Explanation:

1. Find the slope-intercept form of the equation

So to first solve this equation you need to find the slope of the line to find the slope you do
`(rise)/(run)` which means you count the number of boxes the line moves up or down which is 2 so that is the "rise" part of our equation. To find the run you find how much the equation moves left or right which is one. So the slope would be
`(2)/(1) x` or
`2x\\`. To find the y-intercept you look at where the line hits the y-axis which is at -2. So now you have your equation in a slope-intercept form which is
`g(x)=2x-2`

2. Find g(-1)

So... The slope-intercept form of the equation is
`g(x)=2x-2` that you replace the x in the g(x) with -1 so now you replace the x in the slope-intercept equation with -1. Then simplify!

`g(-1)=2(-1)-2`

`g(-1)= -2-2`

`g(-1)=-4`

Answer 2

g(- 1) = - 4

Explanation:

g(- 1) means what is the value y when x = - 1

Locate - 1 on the x- axis, go vertically down to meet the line at (- 1, - 4 ) , so

when x = - 1 then y = - 4 , that is

g(- 1) = - 4
