The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. It is found by setting x=0. For your equation, that makes the x-term vanish and only the constant remains. The ordered pair is ...
(x, y) = (0, -9)

Answer:

$f(x) = \frac{24}{25} * \frac{5}{6}^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,\frac{2}{3})$

$(x_2,y_2) = (3,\frac{5}{9})$

Required

Write the equation of the function $f(x) = ab^x$

Express the function as:

$y = ab^x$

In: $(x_1,y_1) = (2,\frac{2}{3})$

$y = ab^x$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * b^2$ --- (1)

In $(x_2,y_2) = (3,\frac{5}{9})$

$y = ab^x$

$\frac{5}{9} = a * b^3$ --- (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

$\frac{5}{9}/\frac{2}{3} = \frac{a*b^3}{a*b^2}$

$\frac{5}{9}/\frac{2}{3} = b$

$\frac{5}{9}*\frac{3}{2} = b$

$\frac{5}{3}*\frac{1}{2} = b$

$\frac{5}{6} = b$

$b = \frac{5}{6}$

Substitute 5/6 for b in (1)

$\frac{2}{3} = a * b^2$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * \frac{5}{6}^2$

$\frac{2}{3} = a * \frac{25}{36}$

$a = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{36}{25}$

$a = \frac{2}{1} * \frac{12}{25}$

$a = \frac{24}{25}$

The function: $f(x) = ab^x$

$f(x) = \frac{24}{25} * \frac{5}{6}^x$

Line AB has endpoints A(-4,5) and B(3,5). What is the x-coordinate of a point C such that B is the midpoint of line AC

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Easy peasy

the midpoint between $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is
$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$
just average them

so given that (3,5) is the midpoint of (-4,5) and (x,y)
$(\frac{-4+x}{2},\frac{5+y}{2})=(3,5)$
so by logic
$\frac{-4+x}{2}=3$ and $\frac{5+y}{2}=5$
times both sides by 2 for everybody
-4+x=6 and 5+y=10
add 4 to both sides for left one and minus 5 from both sides for right
x=10 and y=5

the coordinate of point C is (10,5)
the x coordinate is 10

A rental company charges $15 plus $4 per hour to rent a bicycle. If Margie does not want to spend more than $27 for her rental,

serious [3.7K]

15 + 4(h) = 27
27 - 15 = 12
12/4 = 12
Margie can rent the bicycle for 4 hours.
