What is an equation of the line passing through the points (3,2) and (-1,-14)

We need to find the slope and the y-intercept to get an equation.

slope=change in y/change in x... or "(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)"

slope=(2-(-14))/(3-(-1))=16/4=4

Equation of a line:y=mx+b

Plug in a point and solve for b, the y intercept.

2=4(3)+b

b=-10

y=4x-10

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
