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).

just olya [345]

first, the slope is needed, which is 3-2/3--3 which is 1/6 and so this will be y=(1/6)x+b which then we'll input (3,3) which is 3=2+b or b=1 so the equation is y=(1/6)x+1

-x = -6 <br> please help me
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The answer would be positive 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I know it is -6 because when you solve this you do...

-x = -6

Divide both sides by -6

-x/-6 = -6/-6

the answer would be 6

because a negative divided by a negative is a positive.

Hope this helps have a great day! :)
