How can the x-intercept and y-intercept be used to graph a linear equation

1 answer:

5 0

Because a line always goes past the y-intercept and x-intercept. It's not always both, it can sometimes just be the x-intercept or the y-intercept.

When a line intersects these points, for example if a line was to intersect the x-axis then y would be equal to 0, and the opposite for the y-axis. If a line was to intersect the y-axis x would be equal to 0.

Therefore by using that knowledge, and the equation of the line [ y=mx+c or y-y1=m(x-x1) ], we can find the equation of our line. Of course you would need the gradient of that line (the value "m").

If cos B is 4/5 what is sin a?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB. Putting the values in. sin(A+B)=(4/5)(−3/5)+(3/5)(−4/5). sin(A+B)=−24/25.

A company has two large computers. The slower computer can send all the company's email in 60 minutes. The faster computer can c

Lelu [443]

Answer:

If both computers are working together, it will take 24 minutes to do the job

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

There are two computers.The slower computer can send all the company's email in 60 minutes.

The faster computer can complete the same job in 40 minutes

To find the LCM of 40 and 60

LCM (40, 60) = 120

To find efficiency of 2 computers

Let x be the efficiency of faster computer and y be the efficiency of faster computer

x = 120/40 = 3

y = 120/60 = 2

then, x + y = 3 + 2 = 5

Therefore efficiency of both the computer work together = x + y =5

To find the time taken to work both the computer together

time = 120/5 = 24 minutes

Can you tell me what correct answer is and why

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The correct answer is D...

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance of the diagonals, you would need to use the distance formula...

The square root of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

After you plug in the letters into the appropriate places you should get the square root of (a+b)^2 +c
