Find the x- and y-intercept of the line. –3x + 9y = 18

1 answer:

4 0

Line <span>–3x + 9y = 18
</span>
x-intercept when y = 0
so -3x = 18
x = -6

y-intercept when x = 0
so 9y = 18
y = 2

answer
x-intercept (-6,0)
y-intercept (0, 2)

hope it helps

A bookshelf is 42 inches long. How many books of length 1\frac{1}{2}1 2 1 inches will fit on the bookshelf? Explain your reaso

Blababa [14]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't well written but I saw an identical question:

A bookshelf is 42 inches long. Each book is 1 1/4 inches wide. How many books will fit on the shelf?

For us to solve this, we would divide the length of the bookshelf by the width of each book. This would be:

= 42 ÷ 1 1/4

= 42 ÷ 5/4

= 42 × 4/5

= 33 3/5

Therefore, the number of books that will fit on the shelf is 33.

A contractor is calculating the number of decorative stones for a new rectangular patio. The bids always include a count for the

babunello [35]

Answer:

The number of edge stones needed has a constant rate of change, but the number of stones for the center does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is shown in the picture attached below.

Two functions E(x) and C(x) are given in the table along with some of the function values. We have to identify if any of these functions show constant rate of change or not.

By constant rate of change we mean that the slope is constant or in other words, a linear relationship is shown by the function. For a Linear function, the first differences of the function values are same.

By first differences we mean the difference between two consecutive output values. We can see that difference between consecutive input values is constant i.e. 1. If the difference between consecutive output values of any of the functions is same, then that function will be a Linear Function and, therefore, the rate of change for that function will be constant.

Lets analyze E(x) first. The output values are:

34, 52, 70 and 88

The difference between consecutive output values is:

18, 18 and 18

Since, this difference is constant, we can conclude that E(x) is a Linear function with a constant rate of change.

Now lets analyze C(x). The output values are:

62, 133, 260 and 435

The difference between consecutive output values is:

71, 127 and 175

Since, the differences are not constant, C(x) is not a Linear Function and , therefore, the rate of change of C(x) is not constant.

Conclusion:

The number of edge stones which is represented by E(x) has a constant rate of change, but the number of stones for center which is represented by C(x) does not have constant rate of change. This makes the first option our correct answer.
