What is the intercept of y+3=1/2x and y=5x-7x+8

1 answer:

8 0

The intercept of 2 equations is a point that verifies both equations. By that I mean that if you replace the coordinates of this point in both equations, you would get the same y.
So, to do this, you use this form of expression: y=y
So you do the equality of both expressions, and find x.
But in your case, we have one equation that is not in the y= form: y+3=1/2x.
So you subtract 3 from each side, making it y=1/2x-3
Now, we can do y=y.
1/2x-3 = 5x-7x+8
1/2x-3=-2x+8
Then, we move the variables to a side, and the numbers to the other side of the expression, so you get:
1/2x + 2x = 8 + 3
5/2x = 11
To find x, you divide both sides by 5/2:
x= 11/(5/2)
x= 11*2/5 (when you divide 2 fractions, the result is equal to the first fraction multiplied by the inverse of the second)
x=22/5

So, the intercept of y+3=1/2x and y=5x-7x+8 is 22/5.

You can check your answer (this is very important):
y+3 = 1/2 * 22/5
y+3 = 22/10
y= -8/10

y=5x-7x+8
y=5(22/5)-7(22/5)+8
y=-8/10

Hope this Helps! :)

First figure out of it is a arithmetic or geometric sequence, in this case it is a geometric sequence because you have to multiply, not add to find the next number.

Divide one number, I'll pick 324 by the number before it, 108, you get three.

Now divide 36 by 3, you get 12.

To check, multiply 12 by 3, you get 36, multiply that by 3, you get 108, and so on and so forth.

Hey You!

To solve this question, we must use multiplication:

26 × 50 = 1,300

The computer ordered 1,300 CDs.

What is the length of the tangent line in the picture?

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent line has length "x + 8"

The secant line has length "x + 6 + 5", where

5 is the inner part

x + 6 is the outer part

Now,

the secant-tangent theorem tells us that square of the tangent line is equal to the outer segment of secant line multiplied by length of whole secant line.

So, we can say:

$(x+8)^2 = (x+6)(x+6+5)$

We can solve for x shown below:

$(x+8)^2 = (x+6)(x+6+5)\\(x+8)^2=(x+6)(x+11)\\x^2+16x+64=x^2+17x+66\\17x-16x=64-66\\x=-2$

The value of x is -2
