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").

Tania has 56 liters of milk. She uses the milk to make muffins and cakes. Each batch of muffin requires 7 liters of milk and eac

Sophie [7]

Equally divide 56 into 2 halves. 28 liters. 28 liters for muffins and 28 liters for cakes.

(muffins require 7 liters) 28÷7= 4
(cakes require 4 liters) 28÷4=7
x= 4 batches of muffins
y= 7 batches of cakes.

Mary wants to buy one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks. The drinks cost $p$ dollars each, the medium pizza costs

Korolek [52]

Answer:

$30-8p$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent cost of each drink.

We have been given that the medium pizza costs two times as much as one drink, so the cost of medium pizza would be $2p$ .

We are also told that the large pizza costs three times as much as one drink, so the cost of la pizza would be $3p$ .

We have been given that Mary wants to buy one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks.

Since the cost of one drink is p, so cost of 3 three drinks would be $3p$ .

The total cost of one large pizza, one medium pizza, and three drinks would be $2p+3p+3p=8p$

Mary started with $30, so amount left after all of her purchases would be 30 minus total cost of all purchases.

$30-8p$

Therefore, Mary will have $30-8p$ dollars left after making all of her purchases.
