Answer:

x-int (6.2, 0)

y-int (0, 3.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept is found when y = 0.

y-intercept is found when x = 0.

Step 1: Define equation

2x + 4y = 12.4

Step 2: Find x-intercept

<em>Substitute y for 0.</em>

2x + 4(0) = 12.4

2x = 12.4

x = 6.2

(6.2, 0)

Step 3: Find y-intercept

<em>Substitute x for 0.</em>

2(0) + 4y = 12.4

4y = 12.4

y = 3.1

(0, 3.1)

Which model shows the correct factorization of x2 – x – 2?

Murljashka [212]

Answer: The correct factors are

(x-1) and (x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

To factorize the equation

x²– x – 2=0

First we look for numbers that when multiplied will result to the constant term and when added will result to the second term (1x, - 2x)

Step two :

We replace the second term with these factors we have

x²–(x-2x)–2=0

x²–x+2x–2=0

Factoring the expression we have

x(x–1)+2(x–1)=0

Hence the factors will be

(x-1) and (x+2)

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the points (−1,12) and (1,2).

zzz [600]

Answer:

$y=-5x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

the points (−1,12) and (1,2)

substitute

$m=\frac{2-12}{1+1}$

$m=\frac{-10}{2}$

$m=-5$

step 2

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equl to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

$m=-5$

$point\ (1,2)$

substitute in the linear equation and solve for b

$2=-5(1)+b$

$b=2+5=7$

therefore

$y=-5x+7$
