<h2>3x-4y-15=0 </h2><h2>Geometric figure: Straight Line</h2><h2> Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750</h2><h2> x-intercept = 15/3 = 5</h2><h2> y-intercept = 15/-4 = -3.75000</h2><h2>Step by step solution :</h2><h2>Step 1 :</h2><h2>Equation of a Straight Line</h2><h2> 1.1 Solve 3x-4y-15 = 0 </h2><h2 /><h2>Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK). </h2><h2 /><h2>"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.</h2><h2 /><h2>In this formula :</h2><h2>y tells us how far up the line goes</h2><h2>x tells us how far along</h2><h2>m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is</h2><h2>b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis</h2><h2>The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line 3x-4y-15 = 0 and calculate its properties</h2><h2>Calculate the Y-Intercept :</h2><h2>Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 15/-4 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-3.75000</h2><h2> y-intercept = 15/-4 = -3.75000 </h2><h2>Calculate the X-Intercept :</h2><h2>When y = 0 the value of x is 5/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 5.00000</h2><h2> x-intercept = 15/3 = 5 </h2><h2>Calculate the Slope :</h2><h2>Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -3.750 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -2.250. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -2.250 - (-3.750) = 1.500 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)</h2><h2> Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750 </h2><h2>Geometric figure: Straight Line</h2><h2> Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750</h2><h2> x-intercept = 15/3 = 5</h2><h2> y-intercept = 15/-4 = -3.75000</h2><h2>Hope This Helps!!!</h2>

Cody wants to watch a movie that is 3 hours long he has watched 1/6 of the movie. How much time did Cody spend watching the movi

Anettt [7]

Answer:

3 hours is 60×3=180

1/6 of 180 =180÷ 6= 30

30 mins is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to find another position other than 1/6 like 4/6 then you can just times the answer in this case 30 by the amout u need in this case 4 so 4/6 would be 120 which is 2 hours

Function p(x), shown below, is translated 10 units up to create function q(x).

natulia [17]

Answer: q(x) = 0.005(x - 40)² + 70

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k <em>where a is the vertical stretch and (h, k) is the vertex.</em>
