The decimal form of 3/8 is 0.375
Answer:
Line C
Step-by-step explanation:
The x intercept is when the line passes through the x axis , the only time that happens is when y=0
the y intercept is when the line passes through the y axis, the only time that happens is when x=0
so to solve for them, set the other coortinate to zero so
x intercept is when y=0 so set y to zero and solve for x
0-1/4x=-1/2
-1/4x=-1/2
multiply both sides by -4/1
x=2
the x intercept is (2,0)
the y intercept is when x=0 so set x to zero
y-1/4(0)=-1/2
y=-1/2
the y intercept is (0,-1/2)
the x itnercept=(2,0)
the y intercept=(0,-1/2)
Check out the graph below. We see that (3,0) is a root or x intercept. More specifically, the graph only touches the x axis at this point, rather than cross over (in contrast to a root like (-2,0) ). We say that the root here is of multiplicity 2. The multiplicity is due to the exponent of 2 over the (x-3) factor.
You can also say that the graph is decreasing on the left side of (3,0) and then it bounces off the root x = 3 to increase afterward. In this region, the graph never goes below the x axis.
