Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the y intercept is the y value of ur points when ur line crosses the y axis. It is the initial value and is the output value when the input of a linear function is 0.
The answer would be D just took test
C + a = 138.....c = 138 - a
5.10c + 8.70a = 995.40
5.10(138 - a) + 8.70a = 995.40
703.80 - 5.10a + 8.70a = 995.40
-5.10a + 8.70a = 995.40 - 703.80
3.60a = 291.60
a = 291.60/3.60
a = 81 <===
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola with focus at (h, k) and the directrix y = p is given by the following formula:
(y - k)^2 = 4 * f * (x - h)
In this case, the focus is at the origin (0, 0) and the directrix is the line y = -1.3, so the equation representing the cross section of the reflector is:
y^2 = 4 * f * x
= 4 * (-1.3) * x
= -5.2x
The depth of the reflector is the distance from the vertex to the directrix. In this case, the vertex is at the origin, so the depth is simply the distance from the origin to the line y = -1.3. Since the directrix is a horizontal line, this distance is simply the absolute value of the y-coordinate of the line, which is 1.3 inches. Therefore, the depth of the reflector is approximately 1.3 inches.
