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

Mathematics

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! :)

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A to B:

sqrt( (3 - (-2))^2 + (-11 - 1)^2 )

sqrt( (5)^2 + (-12)^2 )

sqrt( 25 + 144 )

sqrt( 169 )

13

B to C:

sqrt( (-2 - 3)^2 + (-23 - (-11))^2 )

sqrt( (-5)^2 + (-12)^2 )

sqrt( 25 + 144 )

sqrt( 169 )

13

C to D:

sqrt( (-7 - (-2))^2 + (-11 - (-23))^2 )

sqrt( (-5)^2 + (12)^2 )

sqrt( 25 + 144 )

sqrt( 169 )

13

D to A:

sqrt( (-2 - (-7))^2 + (1 - (-11))^2 )

sqrt( (5)^2 + (12)^2 )

sqrt( 25 + 144 )

sqrt( 169 )

13

Adding:

13 + 13 + 13 + 13

Help me giving all good reviews!!
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

152

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how many people like dogs but not cats. We can see that 152 people wrote that they like dogs. The other options were that they liked cats, both or neither. So we can assume that the 152 people that picked dogs do not like cats as there is no other option. So this is the answer. Also, you can create a venn diagram with this.

Hope this helped. Brainliest answer would be grateful
