ANSWER

The x-intercept is $(-5,0)$

The y-intercept is $(0,-5)$

See attachment for graph.

EXPLANATION

The given function is

$y=-x-5$

To find the x-intercept, we put $y=0$ in to the equation.

The equation now becomes $0=-x-5$ .

We now solve for $x$ to obtain;

$5=-x$

$-5=x$

Therefore the x-intercept is $(-5,0)$ .

To find the y-intercept, we substitute $x=0$ in to the equation $y=0-5$

$\Rightarrow y=-5$ .

This means that the y-intercept is $(0,-5)$ .

We now plot the intercepts and draw a straight line through them to obtain the graph that is shown in the attachment.

A curve passes through the point ( 0 , 7 ) (0,7) and has the property that the slope of the curve at every point P P is twice th

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The equation for the curve is:

$f(x) = 7*e^{2*x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for a curve defined as:

y = f(x)

The slope of the curve at the point x is:

y = f'(x)

where f'(x) = df(x)/dx

Here we know that we have a function that passes through the point (0, 7)

We also know that the slope of the curve at every point is twice the value of the y-coordinate. (remember that the y-coordinate is given by f(x))

Then we have two equations:

f(0) = 7

f'(x) = 2*f(x)

From the shape of the equation, we can assume than this is an exponential equation like:

$f(x) = A*e^{k*x}$

Replacing that in the second equation, we get:

$k*A*e^{k*x} = 2*A*e^{k*x}$

From that equation, we can conclude that k = 2

Then:

$f(x) = A*e^{2*x}$

Now we can use the first equation:

f(0) = 7

With this, we can find the value of A.

$f(0) = 7 = A*e^{2*0}\\7 = A*e^0 = A*1\\7 = A$

Then we can conclude that the equation for the curve is:

$f(x) = 7*e^{2*x}$

How to convert this equation to y=mx+b form: y+2x=y-2

wlad13 [49]

Y = mx + b is in the form of slope-intercept.
From the equation given, y + 2x = y - 2, we can convert it in the format of the slope intercept form and it depends we can came up to that form.

y + 2x = y -2
y - y = -2x - 2
0 = 2x + 2
x = -1

Unfortunately, the form y = mx + b is impossible to achieve.

A motor scooter travels 20 mi in the same time that a bicycle covers 8 mi if the rate of the scooter is 4 mph more than twice th

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

We observe that 20 is 4 more than twice 8. This suggests the time is 1 hour and the rates are

... scooter: 20 mi/h

... bicycle: 8 mi/h

_____

You can let b represent the rate of the bicycle in miles per hour. Then we have (for time in hours and distance in miles) ...

... time = distance/speed

... time = 20/(2b+4) = 8/b

... 20b = 8(2b+4) = 16b +32

... 4b = 32

... b = 8

The rate of the bicycle is 8 mph; that of the scooter is 2*8+4 = 20 mph.

Y varies directly with X and Y equals 60 when x equals 12

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

since y varies directly as x then the equation connecting them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition y = 60 when x = 12, then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{60}{12}$ = 5

y = 5x ← is the equation of variation
