4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersections on the x axis occur when y = 0. f(x) is another term for y, so set f(x) equal to zero and solve for the two possible x's.

0 = x^2 - 3x - 40

0 = (x-8)(x+5)

By solving for x, you get 8 and -5. 8 and -5 added together will equal 3.

which of the following inequalities matches the graph? graph of an inequality with a solid line through the points 0, negative 2

gladu [14]

1) Equation of the line
Slope, m = [-2 -1]/[0 - 2] = -3 / -2 = 3/2y-intercept, b = -2
y = 3x/2 - 2

2) InequalityThe points over the line have y-coordinate greaetr than the value of the line, then
y ≥ 3x/2 - 2
2y ≥ 3x - 4
3x - 2y ≤ 4
3) Answer: 3x - 2y less than or equal to 4.

Solve for y- 6y-1.5x=8

VARVARA [1.3K]

$6y-1.5x=8\qquad\text{add 1.5x to both sides}\\\\6y=1.5x+8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\y=\dfrac{1.5}{6}x+\dfrac{8}{6}\\\\y=\dfrac{15}{60}x+\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{4}{3}}$
