Answer: The value of the y-intercept is -\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case we know that the line passes through point (0.4,-\frac{1}{2}) and has a slope of \frac{1}{4}. Then we can substitute the following values into  y=mx+b:

x=0.4\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\m=\frac{1}{4}

Then:

-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}(0.4)+b

And finally, we must solve for "b":

-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}(0.4)+b\\\\-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{10}=b\\\\b=-\frac{3}{5}

For this case we have that by definition, the slope-intersection equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

y: It is the cut point with the "y" axis

They tell us as data that:

m = \frac {1} {4}

So, the equation is:

y = \frac {1} {4} x + b

We substitute the given point to find "b":

- \frac {1} {2} = \frac {1} {4} (0.4) + b\\- \frac {1} {2} = \frac {0.4} {4} + b\\b = - \frac {1} {2} - \frac {0.4} {4}\\b = -0.5-0.1\\b = -0.6

Thus, the cut point with the y axis is -0.6

Answer:

b = -0.6

Mariah makes bead necklaces. Beads are packaged in bags of 50 and bags of 200. Mariah bought 4 bags of 50 beads and 3 bags of 20
nalin [4]
Since she bought 4 bags of 50 beads and 3 bags of 200 beads you only need to use two operations: multiply and add. 4 x 50 is 200 3 x 200 is 600 600 + 200 = 800 Mariah purchase 800 beads in total.

Craig is designing a new cylinder-shaped can for a pet food company. He wants the height of the can to be 40 mm and the radius o
devlian [24]
The height of the can for this case is given by:
 h = 40 mm
 The radius of the can is given by:
 r = (1 3/8) * h
 Substituting values:
 r = (1 3/8) * 40
 r = 55 mm
 Therefore, the diameter of the can is:
 d = 2 * r
 d = 2 * 55
 d = 110 mm
 Answer:
 
The diameter of the can will be:
 
d = 110 mm

Logan measured a line to be 7.4 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 7.7 inches, then what was the percent error of
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

4.0541

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if this is correct but this is what I got.

You would take the error and divide it by the theoretical value and then multiply that by 100.

7.7 - 7.4 = 0.3

0.3 ÷ 7.4 = 0.04054054

0.04054054 x 100 = 4.05405405 (simplify) = 4.0541%

Hope I helped in any way

Mom put plums and apples onto a plate. The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2. How many fruit did mom
Delvig [45]

Answer:

30 fruits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of plums on the plate

y ----> number of apples on the plate

we know that

The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2

so

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{2}

x=1.5y ----> equation A

After Ed took 6 plums from the plate, the number of plums remaining on the plate became the same as the number of apples

so

x-6=y ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

1.5y-6=y

solve for y

1.5y-y=6\\0.5y=6\\y=12

Find the value of x

x=1.5(12)=18

therefore

Mon put on the table

x+y=18+12=30\ fruits
