Consider the function f(x)=3/4x+12 what is the y-intercept of f-1(x)

Answer:
y = -16
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=3/4x+12 (replace f(x) with y)
y =3/4x+12 (rearrange to express x in terms of y)
y - 12=3/4 x
3/4 x = y - 12
3x = 4(y - 12)
x = (4/3)(y - 12)
x = (4/3)y - (4/3)(12)
x = (4/3)y - 16
(y) = (4/3)y - 16
(x) = (4/3)x - 16
comparing to general form
y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept
b = -16
Hence the y-intercept is y = -16

Let m and j be the current ages of Matthew and Jenny, respectively.
Now, Matthew is 3 times as old as Jenny, so the variables are in the following relation:
In 7 years, both of them will be 7 years older, i.e. their ages will be m+7 and j+7, and Matthew will be twice as old:
Now, remembering that m=3j, we can rewrite the second equation as
So, Jenny is 7 and Matthew is 21 (he's 3 times older).
In fact, in 7 years, they will be 14 and 28, and Matthew will be twice as old.
