Answer:

y-intercept of the line is, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form:

The equation of line is given by:

$y = mx+b$ ....[1]

where,

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept.

As per the statement:

Given the equation:

$y = 3x-6$

we can write this as:

$y =3x+(-6)$

On comparing with [1] we have;

m = 3 and b = -6

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is, -6

This is a line in the form y = mx + b, where b is the y intercept. In your equation above, 3 is the slope, the m value, and -6 is the y-intercept, the b value.

How you could use paper folding to construct the bisector of an angle

user100 [1]

This really works well with wax paper. It is transparent and it leaves a visible white line on the crease. For the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, fold the endpoints of the line segment onto each other. The crease is the perpendicular bisector. This of course also gives you the midpoint, because that is where the perpendicular bisector intersects the line segment. For an angle bisector, put the crease through the vertex of the angle and lay the sides of the angle over top of each other. The crease is the angle bisecto

A rectangle. one side is 2x + 7 and the other is x+3

saveliy_v [14]

$\large{\green}\fcolorbox{purple}{pink}{\bf{\underline{\red{\color{red}Answer}}}}$

6x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find :-

Perimeter of rectangle

Given :-

Length = 2x + 7

Breadth/width = x + 3

Solution :-

We know that

$\mathfrak {perimeter \: of \: rectangle =2(length + breadth) }$

Now we will substitute the values of length and breadth

$\sf \longmapsto perimeter = 2 \{(2x + 7) + (x + 3) \} \\ \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto perimeter = 2 \{3x + 10 \} \\ \\ \\ \sf \longmapsto perimeter = 6x + 20$
