The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have y = 2x - 5, then:

slope m = 2

y-intercept b = -5

<h3>Answer: y-intercept = -5.</h3>

The archway to the entrance of an art gallery can be model by y= -1/3(x-5)(x+5) where x and y are measured in feet. The x-axis r

NikAS [45]

Answer:

x=5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At floor level y=0

If the expression is:

$0=1/3(x-5)(x+5)\\0=1/3(x^2-25)\\0=1/3x^2-25/3\\25/3=1/3x^2\\25=x^2\\x=5$

But, with the negative sign, the answer is x= 5i (where i is imaginary)

Choose the equation of the vertical line passing through the point 1,-1

natka813 [3]

A vertical line has the equation of x = a

If the vertical line goes through a certain point, as in this case, then the y value is irrelevant. It can be anything. It is the x value that is the one you need to use.

So the answer is x = 1. This equation has no slope that is defined.

Answer:

x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

so expand the left side of the equation

9x+9= 25+x

and then group like terms( subtract 9 from both sides and also do same with x.

9x-x= 25-9

8x= 16

divide by 8 on both sides.

x=2
