Let x be the months and y be the cost.

Rate of increase of commodity A = 6/3 = $2 per month
Equation:
y = 2x + 4500

Rate of increase of commodity B = 2/4 = $0.5 per month
Equation:
y = 0.5x + 5400

Equating the costs,
2x + 4500 = 0.5x + 5400
1.5x = 900
x = 600 months
x = 600 / 12 = 50 years

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x)=4 - 5x? (Hint: use the commutative property)
Tom [10]

Answer:

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intercepts:

The line which intersect on x-axis and y-axis are called intercepts.

y-intercept: The line or function which intersect at y-axis. So when the line intersect at y-axis, X coordinate is zero.

So in the given Function Put x = 0 we will get the y-intercept

f(x)= 4-5x

Put x =0

f(0)= 4-5\times 0

f(0)= 4-0=4

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.
