The y intercept is when x=0 so y=1/2(0) -3 so y=0-3 so y=-3

Hi there!
The y-intercept of the equation y = 1/2x - 3 is (0,-3).

This is because in the equation y=mx+b, the b represents the y-intercept. Since the equation of the line you were given is in y=mx+b form, you're able to easily find the y-intercept. When asked for the y-intercept, it is always best to give it as a point, you can use this - (0,y) - the y representing the y-intercept.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know! :)

I’ll help a girl out

Y= 25
X=65

Because a triangle always has a total of 180 degrees.
Y and the 25 degrees are the same because I honestly forgot but trust. And the square means that the angle is 90 degrees so 90+25=115 and to get x you do 180-115=65.
I hope this was the right answer lol

Help please? match each system of linear equation with the correct numbers of solutions

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First system: no solution, since the two lines are parallel; they never cross.

Second system: one solution

Third system: infinitely many solutions, since the second equation is a multiple of the first
