x intercept = where the function crosses the x axis (x,0)

y intercept = where the function crosses the y-axis (0,y)

A. y=7/2x-2

x intercept , replace y by 0 and solve for x:

0 =7/2x-2

2= 7/2 x

2 / (7/2) = x

x= 4/7

y-intercept, replace x by 0 and solve for y

y= 7/2x-2

y= 7/2 (0) -2

y=-2

B.

x-intercept:

x=-3

y-intercept

0=-3

It doesn't have a y-intercept.

Jasmine ran 5 miles in 42.5 minutes. Caroline ran 3 miles in 26.4 minutes. Who ran at a faster pace?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let us find the respective speeds of Jasmine and Caroline and compare the two. All we have to do is divide #minutes by #miles to find the time spent per <u>one</u> mile.

Jasmine:

\frac{42.5}{5} =\\\\

8.5 minutes per mile

Caroline:

\frac{26.4}{3} =\\

8.8 minutes per mile

Since Caroline takes longer to run a mile than Jasmine, We now know that Jasmine ran at a faster pace:

8.8-8.5=0.3

<u>B. Jasmine ran at a faster pace because she ran 0.3 minutes faster per mile.</u>

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x+3y=9 that passes through (-2,5). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. S
Harman [31]
ANSWER

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 8



EXPLANATION

The line given to us has equation,

2x + 3y = 9

We need to write this equation in the slope intercept form to obtain,


3y =  - 2x + 9



\Rightarrow \: y =  -  \frac{2}{3}x + 3


The slope of this line is

m_1 =  -  \frac{2}{3}
Let the slope of the perpendicular line be

m_2

Then
m_1 \times m_2 =  - 1


-  \frac{2}{3} m_2=  - 1

This implies that,

m_2 =  - 1 \times  -  \frac{3}{2}


m_2 =  \frac{3}{2}



Let the equation of the perpendicular line be,

y = mx + b

We substitute the slope to get,


y =  \frac{3}{2} x + b

Since this line passes through
(-2,5)
it must satisfy its equation.


This means that,

5=  \frac{3}{2} ( - 2)+ b


5 =  - 3 + b



5 + 3 = b


b = 8

Wherefore the slope-intercept form is

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 8

SOMEONE EASE ANSWER NUMBER 4?
nlexa [21]

On analyzing the question we can say that the angle ∠JKM of the triangle ΔJKL would be 42 as line MK bisects ∠JKL into ∠JKM & ∠MKL.

From the question it follows that line MK bisects angle ∠JKL into ∠JKM & ∠MKL where M is the point in the interior of ∠JKL.

Therefore, as we have given  m∠JKL = 84 & m∠MKL  = 42

and we have to find m∠JKM , we will simply write the equation as follow

m∠JKL = m∠JKM + m∠MKL

Inserting values we get,

84 = m∠JKM + 42

m∠JKM = 42

Hence, angle m∠JKM  of the triangle ΔJKL is  42.
