Answer:

Y intercept = (0,4)

X intercept = (6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • First you need to make the equation slope intercept form.

2x+3y=12

<u><em>To do so, you need to get y on it's own (or on one side)</em></u>

  • Subtract 3y from the left side.

-3y+12=2x

  • Then, divide everything out by -3

y-4=-2/3x

  • Add four to the other side

y= -2/3x +4

-2/3x= slope while 4= y intercept

You can also graph it on desmos and find the y intercept and x intercept

Answer:

To find the y intercept and the x intercept we can use Standard form: Ax+By=C

X intercept: (6,0)

Y intercept: (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you wanna find the X intercept all you have to do is plug in 0 for the value of y. For example, 2x+3(0)=12 now solve.

Once you solve it, you get 2x=12. Now we divide and get x=6, we also know that since its the x intercept, the 6 will be the first digit of the ordered pair. (6,0).

Hope this helps! :) (Side note: the same goes for the y side, you plug in 0 for the x!)

Madeline drove 180 miles in 4 hours. If she drove at a constant rate, how far did shetravel in one hour?On the double number lin
Tcecarenko [31]

We have a question on motion with the elements of distance, time taken and speed.

This question in particular is asking us for distance per unit time (in this case, hours).

We are required to find out how much distnace is covered in on hour and our approach will be as follows:

\text{Speed= }\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{time}}=\frac{180\text{miles}}{4\text{hours}}=\frac{45\text{ miles}}{1\text{ hour}}

This right here just tells us that 4 hours, Madeline covered 180 miles and since her rate was constant (equal distances in equal times), then she also covered 45 miles in an hour.

Now we plot our number line.
