Answer:

(42, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope and y-intercept we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b; therefore, the equation is y = -3/7x + 18. To find the x-intercept, we just plug in y = 0 which becomes:

0 = -3/7x + 18

-18 = -3/7x

x = 42

$\text{In order to find your x intercept, plug in 0 to y and solve:}\\\\0=-\frac{3}{7}x+18\\\\\text{Subtract 18 from both sides}\\\\-18=-\frac{3}{7}x\\\\\text{Multiply both sides by 7}\\\\-126=-3x\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 3}\\\\42 = x\\\\\text{This means that the x-intercept is (42,0)}\\\\\boxed{\text{x-intercept: (42,0)}}$

Answer:

$0.0000007$

And if we count the number of zeros before the number 7, we can rewrite the number like this:

$7x10^{-7}$

We cansolve this problem also counting the number of positions that we need to move the decimal point to the right in order to obtain the first number (7)

And the best option would be:

B. 7 x 10-7

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following number given:

$0.0000007$

And if we count the number of zeros before the number 7, we can rewrite the number like this:

$7x10^{-7}$

We cansolve this problem also counting the number of positions that we need to move the decimal point to the right in order to obtain the first number (7)
