Dog weigh: 23
cat weigh: 5/8 dogs weigh
so..
23x5/8 = 115/8
Answer:
graph{3x+5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
x
intercept:
x
=
−
5
3
y
intercept:
y
=
5
Explanation:
For a linear graph, the quickest way to sketch the function is to determine the
x
and
y
intercepts and draw a line between the two: this line is our graph.
Let's calculate the
y
intercept first:
With any function,
y
intercepts where
x
=
0
.
Therefore, substituting
x
=
0
into the equation, we get:
y
=
3
⋅
0
+
5
y
=
5
Therefore, the
y
intercept cuts through the point (0,5)
Let's calculate the
x
intercept next:
Recall that with any function:
y
intercepts where
x
=
0
.
The opposite is also true: with any function
x
intercepts where
y
=
0
.
If we substitute
y
=
0
, we get:
0
=
3
x
+
5
Let's now rearrange and solve for
x
to calculate the
x
intercept.
−
5
=
3
x
−
5
3
=
x
Therefore, the
x
intercept cuts through the point
(
−
5
3
,
0
)
.
Now we have both the
x
and
y
intercepts, all we have to do is essentially plot both intercepts on a set of axis and draw a line between them
The graph of the function
y
=
3
x
+
5

If he counts 76 feet, that means there’s 38 animals in total, because animals have 2 feet. 76/2=38
Hope that helps..!
The most familiar case is that where you see a " + " sign between two numbers; that's an indication to add the two numbers (or terms) together.
Also, the instruction, "sum up the following," is a command to find the sum of all the numbers that follow.
