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)}}

Can you guys please help me? I understand everything but the last step.​
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

It is because you have to get rid of the power of 2 from c. In order to get rid, you have to square root it on both sides :

c² = 74

√(c²) = √74

c^(1/2×2) = √74

c = √74

Using Indices formula, (a^m)^n = a^(mn)
