A science class is tracking the progress of plant growth. The class starts the experiment with a plant five centimeters high. Th

e plant grows two centimeters each day. The model for plant growth "y" is given by: y = 2x + 5. What is the meaning of the y-intercept in this equation?

Answer:

In this equation, the y-intercept (+ 5) represents the original height of the plant. 2x represents the amount of growth multiplied by the number of days, x.

Answer: C) the y-intercept is the starting height of the plant

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation of a straight line, there is a slope (2) and a y intercept (5). The y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis. It is the starting point for the y values. The science class starts the experiment with the plant being 5 centimeters high and since this is the starting point/height, this is also the y intercept.

What Is the Slope And Y Intercept Of This Line?<br><br> Y = X -5
asambeis [7]

Answer:

slope = 1 , y- intercept = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = x - 5 is in this form

with slope m = 1 and y- intercept c = - 5

Leonardo wrote an equation that has an infinite number of solutions. One of the terms in Leonardo’s equation is missing, as show
Lady bird [3.3K]

Let us suppose missing term is y

so it becomes - ( x-1) + 5 = 2 ( x+3) - y

let us now try solving it for x ( in terms of y )

-x + 1 + 5 = = 2x + 6 - y

-x + 6 = 2x + 6 -y

6 + y = 2x + 6 +x

y = 3x

y / 3 = x

but x is given to be infinite . let us try placing y= the given options

x= x/3 which is not possible

x= 3x/3 which is giving valid statement

x= 1/3 which is a finite value

x= 5/3 again a finite value

so it is only y= 3x which could be the answer

Answer : option second that is 3x

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

-2. 46

- 9.54

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 2x²+12x-7=0
  • 2x²+12x+18= 25
  • 2*(x²+6x+9)=25
  • 2*(x+6)²= 5²
  • x+6= 5√2/2 ⇒ x= 5√2/2 -6 ≈ -2. 46
  • x+6= -5√2/2 ⇒ x= -5√2/2 -6 ≈ - 9.54

The graph of the piecewise function f(x) is shown what is the domain of f(x)
Rom4ik [11]

The domain of a function is where we have a value for x.

Since that's the case the domain of f(x) = {x e R / 1 ≤ x < 5}

We see that we have a value for x = 1 cuz we have a filled circle, but we don't have a value for x = 5, look at the unfilled circle

So, our x can vary between 1 and 5, but can't be 5.
