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)}}

Sandeep uses 1/5 of a cup of vinegar in his salad dressing recipe. How much vinegar would Sandeep use to make 4/5 of a recipe?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

4 /25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cup of vinegar used per recipe = 1/5 cup

Amount of vinegar to be used for 4/5 of a recipe ;

1 cup recipe = 1/5 cup vinegar

4/5 cup recipe = x

Cross multiply :

x = 1/5 * 4/5

x = 4/25 cup

Hence, Sandeep will use 4/25 cup of vinegar

What is the unit rate for 180 miles in 3 hours
Ugo [173]

Hello

Answer:

60 miles per hour

I have given a detailed explanation of the logic behind this.

Explanation:

Consider the structure of the wording: "miles per hour"

The word "per" means for each. There is you clue.

Each is, one of and one of is unit measurement

So the controlling element in this question is that you need to convert the 3 hours into 1 hour.

Using ratio properties

180

3

=

x

miles

1

hour

We need to 'force' the left hand side into the same form as the right. That is: we need to convert the denominator into 1 and see what happens to the numerator.

⇒

180

÷

3

3

÷

3

=

x

1

⇒

60

1

=

x

1

So the unit rate of speed is  

60

miles

per

−−−

hour

Hope this helps

Verizon [17]
Yellow Cab : y = 0.25x + 5
Express Cab: y = 1.5x
a) Yellow Cab: 1.75 + 5 = 6.75
Express Cab: 1.5 * 7 = 10.5
YELLOW CAB
b) Yellow Cab: 0.75 + 5 = 5.75
Express Cab: 1.5 * 3 = 4.5
EXPRESS CAB
c) 0.25x + 5 = 1.5x
1.25x = 5
x = 4
