Determine the y-intercept:

We make the equation 3=-1/2(8)+b

3=-4+b

7=b

Since the y-intercept is b, we have our full equation: y=-1/2x+7

Hope this helped!

Domain is the numbers you can use
range is the result of inputing the domain

an interesting fact is that the inverse of a function switches the domain and range

basically
the domain of f(x) becomes the range of f^-1(x)
the range of f(x) becomes the domain of f^-1(x)
so just find the domain and range of f(x)

$f(x)=3x- \frac{1}{2}$
there are no restrictions
all real numbers can be used
all real numbers can result

so the answer is domain and range for both is all real numbers

Can someone help me with this math homework please!

Answer:

3. The number of students that rode on each bus

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation they give us is:

2b + 6 = 70

The question already tells us that in this equation:

2 is the 2 buses that the school hired

6 is the 6 leftover kids who couldn't fit on the 2 buses

The question also tells us that the 2 buses only have a total of 64 seats, so 32 seats on 1 bus (64/2 = 32).

So that means b would equal the 32 seats on 1 bus, or the number of students that rode on each bus.

Hope it helps (●'◡'●)

Trever Goetz is a salesperson who is paid a monthly salary of $500 plus a 2% commission on sales. How much must he sell to earn

dedylja [7]

Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

now, we know Trever makes $500 in salary and 2% on sales, let's say he sells "x" amount, how much is 2% of x? well (2/100) * x, or 0.02x.

Therefore Trever's earnings are 500 + 0.02x, his salary plus his commission.

to earn a total of 2,000, then 500 + 0.02x = 2000, thus

$\bf 500+0.02x=2000\implies 0.02x=1500\implies x=\cfrac{1500}{0.02}\\\\\\ x=75000$
