For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept which is the value of y when x is equal to zero. The slope is the rate of change of y per change in x. "y" would represent the dependent variable which is the weight of the baby while "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months. We calculate the slope as follows:

slope = (11 - 9) / ( 4 - 0) = 2/4 = 0.5
at x = 0, it is said that the weight of the baby is 9 lbs so the value of b would be 9.

The equation of the line would be y = 0.5x + 9

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the line x - 3y= -9
forsale [732]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intercepts, that is where the line crosses the x and y axes

• Let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept

• Let y = 0, in the equation for x- intercept

x = 0 : - 3y = - 9 ⇒ y = 3 ⇒ (0, 3) ← y- intercept

y = 0 : x = - 9 ⇒ (- 9, 0 )← x- intercept

What is the value of x?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

X=98°

Step-by-step explanation:

53° + 45° = 98

98-180= 82

every triangle is always equal o 180°

so...   53°+ 45°+ 82° = 180

to find x you need to subtract 82 from 180 which is 98

<em>remember its important to find the inner degree before the outer.</em>

Which line on the graph represents the equation y=3x-2
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Line A.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put x as zero into 3x-2, you get 3(0)-2. That equals -2. Therefore, y = -2. When x=0, that is the y-intercept, so the y-intercept is -2. Line A crosses the y-axis at -2, so line A has that y-intercept.

Slope is always y/x. On a graph, that is the number of squares UP over the number of squares ACROSS. Counting, we get, 3 squares up over 1 square across for line A. 3/1= 3. The slope is the number we multiply by x. In the equation, that is 3, because we see 3x, and no sign or space between 2 numbers automatically means we multiply. So line A also has the correct slope.

In linear equations (straight lines), the same slope and y-intercept are enough to tell you that the equation matches the line.

Therefore, the answer is A!
