Mathematics

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis).

Answer:

y-value at intercept = f(0), the value of the function when x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The "y-intercept" of a graph (any graph, not just a straight line) is the y-value obtained when x = 0.  In other words, the y-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis (whose equation is x = 0).  Very often the y-intercept represents the initial (beginning) value of functions whose domains include [0, +infinity).

Can someone plz ummmm help me :))))))

The sequence is geometric. Any exponential function models geometric growth. Recall the general nth term of a geometric sequence is a*(r)^(n-1) which is very similar to the form y = a*b^x. The big difference is that the x function is continuous while the function in terms of n is discrete. In this case, the common ratio is r = 1.10 to indicate we have 10% growth. Notice how 100%+10% = 1.00+0.10 = 1.10

----------------------------------------

The first quadrant is where x and y are both positive. Since x is the time in years, it doesn't make sense to talk about negative years or negative years have passed by. We can have a negative balance in a bank account, so it makes sense to have y be negative. However, Mr Sullivan starts with some positive amount and his account grows every year. So there's no way that y can be negative in this case.

----------------------------------------

The point (0,200) is the y intercept. It represents the starting amount he deposited into the account, which was the $200. Keep in mind that no other deposits were made, and he cannot pull money out of the account if he wants his account to grow according to the graph. Also, the interest rate must remain at 10%.

A cyclist travels 8 km from home to the park. She leaves home at 10:15 and arrives at the park at 10:30. What is her average spe
Viktor [21]

Answer:

speed = 32km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Time

10:15 to 10:30 = 1/4 hr

speed = distance/time

speed = 8 / (1/4)

speed = 32km/hr

A line passing through the point (7, 6) has a slope of 2.
Masja [62]
An equation in point-slope form is
y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Your point is (7,6) and your slope is 2
y1 is the y coordinate of your point (in this case 6)
x1 is the x coordinate of your point (in this case 7)
m is your slope (in this case 2)

Now you just have to plug these numbers in:
y - 6 = 2 (x - 7)
