Answer:

y = 1/3x - 2:

y = 12 - 6x:

y = 3x - 7:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The slope-intercept form of a line is [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

The y-intercept is the "b" value of the line, given as -2.

To find the x-intercept, we simply replace the y-value with 0:

y - intercept: - 2

x - intercept: 6

____________________________________________________

You can rearrange the equation, y = -6x + 12, to find the y-intercept: 12.

Solving for the x-intercept (remember, replace y with 0):

y - intercept: 12

x - intercept: 2

____________________________________________________

Simply take the "b" value, -7, to find the y-intercept of -7.

Solve for the x-intercept:

y - intercept: -7

x - intercept: 7/3

Additional Note:

You can also solve for the y-intercept by replacing x with 0. This method can be used for any interests, just plug in the opposite variable from what you are solving for with 0.

The proof is that the x-intercept is the value when the y = 0, the x-axis. You can plug in 0 for y to solve for x. Similarly, when solving for the y-intercept, you plug 0 for x as the y-axis is at x = 0.

The equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks is y = 3.8 - 0.2x

Ice lost at 7 weeks = 7(0.2) = 1.4 meters

Total thickness of ice before loss = Ice remaining after 7 weeks + Ice lost at 7 weeks

= 2.4 + 1.4

= 3.8 meters

The equation:

y = Total thickness of ice before loss - (Ice lost per week × Number of weeks)

= 3.8 - (0.2 × x)

y = 3.8 - 0.2x

Answer:

It should be x-3/2 (also written as "(x-3)÷2")

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x+3

switch the y and x

x=2y+3

solve for y

x/2=y+3

x-3/2=y

If you graph these two functions you will see that y=2x+3 give the points (-1.5,0) and (0,3) and x-3/2 give (0,-1.5) and (3,0). because you've switched the x number to the y number you've "inversed" it

Answer:

C

The coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal will be 1.4 x 10⁻⁵ °c.

Every material has its property of contraction or expansion by the change of temperature. The expansion and contraction of any material are indicated by a coefficient this coefficient is called the coefficient of thermal expansion.

Here we have the following data:-

l₁= 1.000 m

l₂ = 1.001 m

Δ = 70° C

The formula for calculating the coefficient of linear expansion will be:-

[tex]\alpha =\dfrac{\Delta l}{\Delta t\times l}[/tex]

By putting the values we will get the answer.

[tex]\alpha=\dfrac{0.0001}{70\times 1}= 1.4\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Therefore the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal will be 1.4 x 10⁻⁵ °c.

so, what we know is that there are  90 seconds in one minute and a half.

Sam can run 6 meters per second. which means after 90 seconds, he should have run 540 meters.

Tom can run 7 meters per second. This means after 90 seconds, he should have run 630 meters.

Answer:

(2,14)

Step-by-step explanation:

so i solved this with substitution but there are other methods to solve this!

equation 1 : y = -x + 16
equation 2 : y = x + 12

solve for y in equation 1 !!
y = -x + 16
(add x on both sides)
y + x = 16
(subtract y on both sides)
x = -y + 16

equation 1 now equals : x = -y + 16

substitute equation 1 into equation 2 :)

y = (-y + 16) + 12
(add 16 + 12)
y = -y + 28
(add y on both sides)

2y = 28
(divide 2 on both sides)
y = 14

now to solve for x you can insert y !
you can use equation 1 or equation 2 to solve for x.

i'm using equation 2 :
y = x + 12
(14) = x + 12
(subtract 12 on both sides)
x = 2

therefore, the answer is (2, 14).

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference. The correct option is B.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of integers with its adjacent terms differing with one common difference.

The explicit formula for any arithmetic series is given by the formula,

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

where d is the difference and a₁ is the first term of the sequence.

Given  A₁=5 and An= A₍ₙ₋₁₎-4, therefore we can write,

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

Aₙ= 5+(n-1)(-4)
