The y-intercept of the line whose equation is 3x + 2y = 7

1 answer:

4 0

You'll have to get this equation back to the y=mx+b form to find your y intercept. Start by getting y alone.

3x + 2y = 7
-3x -3x
2y = -3x + 7

Since why has a 2 in front of it, you now need to divide the entire equation by 2 to get y completely alone.

2y = -3x +7
/2
y= -3/2x + 7/2

Normally, you'd want to simplify the fractions but that is the smallest you can get it to be. Your y intercept is 7/2.

In a triangle the first angle is greater than the second angle by 18 degree and less than the third angle by 10 grade. Express a

serg [7]

Answer:

The 3 angles are 62 2/3, 44 2/.3 and 72 2/3 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the first angle then the the second angle is x - 18 and the third angle = x + 10

The 3 angles add up to 180 so:

x + x - 18 + x + 10 = 180

3x = 180 + 18 - 10 = 188

x = 188/3 = 62 2/3 degrees.

x - 18 = 44 2/3

x + 10 = 72 2/3.

Answer:

the solution is (-4, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

if you were to graph y = -7/4x - 4 you could plot your first point at (0, -4) and get your second point by going up 7 units (from (0, -4) and to the left by 4

if you were to graph y = -1/4x + 2 you could plot your first point at (0, 2) and get your second point by going up 1 unit (from (0, 2) and to the left by 4

the second point plotted for each equation will be the point of intersection, (-4, 3)
