Given:
I have walked 20% of the way to school.
I have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
To find:
The distance from home to school.
Solution:
Let x be the distance from home to school.
I have already walked 20% of the way to school and i have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
It means 1200 is of the total distance from home to school.
Therefore, the distance from home to school is 2000 metres.
Answer:
The y-intercept is
The y-intercept represents the initial quantity of gas in the canister which is zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is where the graph of the straight line touches the y-axis.
From the graph, the y-intercept is the origin (0,0).
Recall that the slope intercept form of a straight line is , where
is the y-intercept in this case.
Since the graph represents the amount of gasoline in a canister after Joshua begins to fill it at the gas station pump, the y-intercept means the initial gallons of gas in the canister is zero.
