Corrected Question

A linear function has a slope of $-\dfrac{7}{9}$ and a y-intercept of 3. How does this function compare to the linear function that is represented by the equation $y+11=-\dfrac{7}{9}(x-18)$ ?

Answer:

(A)It has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

First linear function

Slope = $-\dfrac{7}{9}$

y-intercept =3

Second Linear function

$y+11=-\dfrac{7}{9}(x-18)\\y=-\dfrac{7}{9}(x-18)-11\\y=-\dfrac{7}{9}x+(-\dfrac{7}{9})(-18)-11\\y=-\dfrac{7}{9}x+14-11\\y=-\dfrac{7}{9}x+3$

Comparing with the slope-intercept form y=mx+c

Slope = $-\dfrac{7}{9}$

y-intercept =3

Therefore, the two functions has the same slope and the same y-intercept.

The correct option is A

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The equations which describe this situation are:

C. f + (2f) + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25

E. 5 f = 8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the number of loaves of bread purchased = 3

The price of a loaf of French bread = f

The price of whole grain bread = 2 x ( Price of the french bread)

= 2 x (f) = 2 f

The price of cinnamon raisin bread

= ( Price of the whole grain bread) + $2.50

= 2 f + $2.50

Also, the total price paid for the 3 loaves of bread = $11.25

⇒ The cost of ( French + whole grain + Cinnamon raisin) bread = $11.25

or, f + (2f) + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25

or, 5 f = 11. 25 - 2.50 = 8.75

or, 5 f = 8 . 75

Hence the equations which describe this situation are:

C. f + (2f) + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25

E. 5 f = 8.75

Answer:

first option;

x-int: -5, 1

y-int: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-int: describes where the function touches the x-axis (left to right). This function touches the points (0,-5) and (0,1).

y-int: describes where the function touches the y-axis (up and down). This function touches the point (0,-1).

Explain how you can find the Y intercept of a linear equation and how that is different from finding the Y intercept of a geomet

PolarNik [594]

That's what i found for you

Each point on the graph is depicted by an ordered pair, where x is always the first value and y is always the second value in the ordered pair (x,y). This is because x is the independent variable, which means that it is the variable being changed. This makes y the dependent variable, which means that it is dependent on how x is being changed. We will explore this as we start to graph equations in terms of x and y. Now, even though there are two values in an order pair, they associate to only one point on the graph.
