Can anyone find the x and y intercepts for this equation?

1 answer:

7 0

1/3x - 1/2y = 1

At the 'x' intercept, y=0 , and the equation is 1/3 x = 1

Multiply each side by 3 : x = 3  <== the x-intercept

At the 'y' intercept, x=0, and the equation is -1/2 y = 1

Multiply each side by 2 : - y = 2

Multiply each side by -1 :  y = -2  <== the y-intercept

Harrizon [31]

1. Each shelf holds 5 hermit-crab cages. There are 23 hermit crab cages to be displayed. Divide the number of hermit crab cages to be displayed by the number of hermit crab cages that can be displayed on each shelf:

$23=5\cdot 4+3.$

This means that you need 5 shelves (4 shelves is not enough, because 3 hermit crab cages will be not displayed).

2. Each shelf holds 3 hermit-crab care booklets. There are 12 hermit-crab care booklets to be displayed. Divide the number of hermit-crab care booklets to be displayed by the number of hermit-crab care booklets that can be displayed on each shelf:

$12=3\cdot 4.$

This means that you need 4 shelves.

Answer: first, you have to divide 23 by 5 and find the quotient and remainder and divide 12 by 3 and find the quotient and remainder. Then you have to determine the number of shelves needed. You need 5 shelves.

Which of the following is the equation for the graph shown?

serious [3.7K]

The Answer is A

Explanation:

The standard form equation for an ellipse is:

(x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1

So looking at the picture above you can see that the center of the ellipse is at the origin which is (0;0) making both h and k zero.

It is then observed that the x-intercepts are at 12 meaning a=12 and y- intercepts are at approximately square root of 95 which is 9.746... which are 'k'

So you can conclude by saying that:

x²/12² + y²/(sqrt of 95)² = 1

then giving you the answer of A which is:

x²/144 + y²/95 = 1

Yes, because a rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction a/b where a/b are both integers, but cannot be zero.
