The required x and y-intercept of the given line is -3 and -6/5 respectively.

<h3>What is the slope of the line?</h3>

The slope of the line is the tangent angle made by line with horizontal. i.e. m =tanx where x in degrees.

Here,
The given equation of the line is 2x+5y=-6.
Transform into standard form of line .i.e is y = mx + c

5y = -2x - 6
y = -2x/5 - 6/5
here , m = -2/5 and c = -6/5
Since c = y-intercept of the line = -6/5
Now, put y = 0 in the equation of the line.
2x = -6
x = -3

Thus, the required x and y-intercept of the given line is -3 and -6/5 respectively.

A tractor was purchased for $30,000 six years ago. what is the value of the tractor today if the depreciation rate was 2.5%?

MrRissso [65]

Initial cost = $30,000
Depreciation rate = 2.5%

Depreciation expense per year = 30,000*2.5/100 = $750
In six years,
Depreciation = 6*750 = $4,500

Value of the tractor = Initial cost - Depreciation = $30,000 - $4,500 = $25,500

Based upon historical data, it is known that 8% of 12-egg cartons contain at least one broken egg. A grocery store manager would

kakasveta [241]

Based on the 5 trials, 1 carton of eggs is expected to contain at least one broken egg, on average

<h3>How to determine the number of cartons</h3>

From the question, we understand that only one of the first 10 double-digit numbers is between 01 and 08

This means that:

The average carton or the expected value of eggs in the simulation is 1

Hence, 1 carton of eggs is expected to contain at least one broken egg, on average
