Y-intercept, it can be described as y-intercept form, or another way of writing it in mathematical form is y=mx+b, this can be used to draw polygons, find ortho-centers (very difficult), etc. m is the rise/run, rise over run, or 1/2. The rise and the run is the rate of change. b is the starting point or slope where it starts at, that is most of it!
Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation used to find the equation for a line with two intercepts is called point slope form. 
, where 
and 
are the intercept points and m is the slope.
However, we need the slope to use this formula.
Use 
m = \frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2}}
y - ( -7 ) = m ( x - ( 4 ) )
y - ( -7 ) = -7/4 ( x - ( 4 ) )
y + 7 = -7/4 ( x + 4 )
y + 7 = 
y + 7 = 
y + 7 = 
y + 7 = - 7
y =
Answer:
To answer items such as this, we directly substitute the a + 2 to the all the x's in the function such that,
f(a + 2) = (3 + a + 2) / (a + 2 - 3)
Simplifying the function generated above,
f(a + 2) = (5 + a) / (a - 1)
Answer:
x = 1.2375 or 99/90
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Distribute</u>
21 + 40(2x - 3)
21 + 80x - 120
<u>Step 2: Combine like terms</u>
21 + 80x - 120
80x - 99
<u>Step 3: Solve for x</u>
80x - 99 + 99 = 0 + 99
80x / 80 = 99 / 80
x = 1.2375
Answer: x = 1.2375 or 99/80
You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
