Question

PLEASE ANSWER !!!!!!!!!!!

12. Write a function rule in slope-intercept form for the statement: the output is one less than half of the opposite of the input.

Answer 1

Answer:

The function rule is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2} x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We identify the output with the variable "y", the "input with the variable"x". Notice also that the "opposite of the input is "-x" (negative x), and therefore the words "the output is one less than half of the opposite of the input" translate into:

$y=\frac{1}{2} (-x)-1\\y=-\frac{1}{2} x-1$
