Answer:

(2, 0) represents the x-intercept for the linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given linear equation is 3y + 4x = 8

We have to find the ordered pair that represents the x-intercept.

Since x - intercept of any line means ordered pair will have y = 0.

So by putting y = 0 in the equation

3×0 + 4(x) = 8

4x = 8

x = 2

Therefore, ordered pair which represents the x-intercept will be (2, 0).

If the test gives a positive result for an infected person 98% of the time, that means that 2% of the time, it gives a negative result for an infected person, which would be a false negative.

If the test is 97% accurate for non-infected people, that means that it gives a negative result 97% of the time. So a positive result will be given 3% of the time for non-infected people, which is a false positive.

Changing the equation into slope form: $y = mx + c$ , where $m$ is the slope [gradient] and $c$ is the y-intercept.

$2x+3y=1470$
$3y = -2x+1470$
$y= - \frac{2}{3}x+ \frac{1470}{3}$
$y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490$

The gradient is $- \frac{2}{3}$ and y-intercept is at $y=490$

Graphing $y=- \frac{2}{3}x+490$ using slope-intercept method:
a) The slope is a negative slope. The line will go 'down hill'
b) The line must pass the point (0, 490)
c) The line will intercept the x-axis at y = 0
   $0 = - \frac{2}{3}x+490$
   $\frac{2}{3}x = 490$
   $2x = 1470$
   $x = \frac{1470}{2}$
   $x = 735$
So, x-intercept is at (735, 0)

The graph of this function is shown below. The intercepts are labelled at:
y = 490
x = 735

Next month's profit equation

$2x+3y=1593$

Rewriting this into slope-equation form

$3y = -2x+1593$
$y=- \frac{2}{3}+ \frac{1593}{3}$
$y= - \frac{2}{3}+531$

The gradient, $m$ , equals to $- \frac{2}{3}$
The y-intercept, $c$ , equals to 531

The equation still has the same gradient with last month's profit equation but different y-intercept.

A linear graph show points of (0, 300) and (450, 0)

We work out the slope:
$\frac{300-0}{0-450} = \frac{300}{-450}=- \frac{20}{30} =- \frac{2}{3}$

Y-intercept at x = 0, so it's at y = 300

Equation $y = - \frac{2}{3}+300$
