Let the profit at the first year be X
3x=114000
Solve for x by dividing each side by 3

3x/3=114000/3
X=38,000

So the profit was 38000

What is the y intercept of a line that passes through (1,-7) and (5,-25). How do I find it.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y- intercept = - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 25)

m = $\frac{-25+7}{5-1}$ = $\frac{-18}{4}$ = - 4.5 , then

y = - 4.5x + c

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the equation

Using (1, - 7), then

- 7 = - 4.5 + c ⇒ c = - 7 + 4.5 = - 2.5

y- intercept c = - 2.5

Mrs. Bergstedt teaches six classes. In her first period class she has 19 students, her third period she has 13 students, her fou

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

We find the average by adding up all the students and dividing them by the number of classes she has. 19 + 13 + 19 + 9 + 14 + 15 is 89, and that divided by 6 is approximately 14.8, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Find the x value of x. If necessary round to the nearest tenth. A=49sq.in.

grigory [225]

Answer:

$9.9 ~in$ ✔︎

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=1/2 ~ base * height$

$49=1/2(x)(c)$

$98=x^2$

$x=\sqrt{98}$

$x=7\sqrt{2}$

$x=9.9$

Find the values of x, y, and z.

SashulF [63]

The three inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees.

This means X = 180 - 43 - 59 = 78 degrees.

X and Z make a straight line that also needs to equal 180 degrees,

so Z = 180 - 78 = 102 degrees.

Y = 180 - 102 - 13 = 65 degrees.
