Answer:

x-intercept is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 2 points on this line.

Therefore you should be able to find the linear equation for this line

Notice  you can find slope as  :   m = (-4 - 2) / (-3 - 6) = -6 / -9 = 2/3

use the point (6, 2) in the slope-intercept equation  y = mx + b ...

I am sure you learned this equation.

we have m = 2/3

so    y = (2/3)*x + b   so far.

let us find the b constant

2 =  (2/3)*6  + b

2 =  2*2  + b

2 = 4 + b

b = 2 - 4 = - 2

so our equation is   y =  (2/3) x - 2

the   x-intercept is found when   y= 0

so     0 =  (2/3) x - 2

2 =  (2/3) x

x = 3

x-intercept is 3 .....      Thank the Great MysticChaCha

The kitchen-tile installer has 20 green, 14 beige, and 16 white tiles in a box. What is the probability of picking a beige tile
Stels [109]

Answer: P = 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

If we pick it at random, the probability of selecting each tile must be equal. this means that the probability of picking a tile of a giving color is equal to the number of the tiles of that color divided the total number of tiles.

We have 14 beige tiles and 20 + 14 + 16 = 50 tiles in total.

Then the probability of piking a beige tile is:

P = 14/50 = 0.28

Helppppppppp please:)
OlgaM077 [116]

Step-by-step explanation:

Thr triangles are similar if any two sides are proportional.

In this, we cannot see any proportional sides, like

DU should be proportional to UT, it is not.

SU should be equal to UE ,it is not.

So, The triangles are not similar.

Hope it helps :)

A ladder is leaning up against a house. The ladder is 20 feet long and the base of the ladder is 12 feet away from the house. Ho
MrRa [10]

Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the ladder=20 feet

Distance from the base of the ladder to the house = 12 feet

You will notice that a wall is vertical and the ladder makes an angle with the horizontal ground(making it the hypotenuse). This is a right triangle problem.

To find the how far up the house can the ladder can reach, we simply find the third side of the right triangle.

From Pythagoras theorem

Hyp^2=Opp^2+Adj^2\\20^2=12^2+Adj^2\\Adj^2=400-144\\Adj^2=256\\Adj=\sqrt{256}=16

The third side of the right triangle is 16. Therefore the ladder leans 16 feet from the ground.

Integer that describes debit of $40
Sladkaya [172]
Alright - we want to start off by seeing if this number would be positive or negative. Debit means that you owe something, or that you have to pay that amount of money. If you had money to buy things with, that would be positive, but since debit means you haven’t paid something off yet, that is negative. Next, since you have 40 dollars in debt, you have -40 dollars.
