In the formula y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept. This means that it’s the point on the graph where the line intercepts on the y-axis.
For example if you have (2,5) that would be y=2x+5, so the y-intercept would be 5

Answer:

It is the spot at which the line, parabola, hyperbola, etc. crosses the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a graph, there is an x-axis and a y-axis. The line passes through the y-axis at a single point (unless the line is on the y-axis all the way through), and this point is the y-intercept.

How would you covert y=-1/2x-5 from slope intercept from to standerd from

solmaris [256]

Standard form: ax+by=c

With standard form there are a few rules One being ax and by cannot be fractions. Two being ax has to be positive.

Now ill explain the problem.

y=-1/2x-5 ↔ You will need to multiply the whole problem by 2 which will leave you will this 2y=-2x-10

Next you will need to move x over to the y side which will look like this 2x+2y=-10 (your answer)

Now you might be asking where the - went that was in front of the x term. Another rule is when you move across the equal sign you change the sign.

Let me know if this helped!

Lulu is taking a road trip to visit family. Her car has a 20-gallon gas tank and the car uses 12 gallons to travel 216 miles.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

<u>The answer is G = 20 - m/18, but none of the answers given is correct.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to help Lulu to answer the question correctly:

Capacity of the gas tank of Lulu's car = 20 gallons

Lulu can travel 216 miles using 12 gallons

2. Which linear equation represents the number of gallons of gas, G, left in the tank after driving m miles?

G = number of gallons left in Lulu's car

m = Miles driven by Lulu

miles per gallon = 216/12 = 18 miles per gallon

Now, we can write the linear equation, this way:

G = Capacity of the gas tank of Lulu's car - miles driven/miles per gallon

Replacing with the values we know:

Let's assume Lulu drives 180 miles, using our linear equation, we have:

G = 20 - 180/18

G = 20 - 10 = 10 gallons left

Let's assume Lulu drives 54 miles, using our linear equation, we have

G = 20 - 54/18

G = 20 - 3 = 17 gallons left

If the figure is a regular polygon find the value of x for a exterior angle

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the exterior angles of a polygon =360degree

⇒ 5x+4x+3x+2x+6x=360dregee

⇒ 20x=360degree

⇒ x=18degree
