Answer:

x-intercept is (2,0)  [The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C]

y-intercept is (0, -6)  [The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

<em>The air temperature is -6 degrees celcius at sunrise and rises 3 degree celcius every hour for several hours. The air temperature after x hours is represented by the function f(x) = 3x - 6. Find the x-intercept and y-intercept and interpret their meaning.</em>

<em />

  • The x-intercept is the x-axis cutting point found by setting y = 0 [function = 0]
  • The y-intercept is the y-axis cutting point found by setting x = 0

Lets find x-intercept first:

f(x) = 3x - 6

0 = 3x - 6

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

x-intercept is (2,0)

Now, lets find y-intercept:

f(x) = 3x - 6

f(x) = 3(0) - 6

f(x) = -6

y-intercept is (0, -6)

The x-intercept means that it takes 2 hours for the temperature to reach 0°C

The y-intercept represents the temperature at sunrise, -6°C

So,

The skateboard cost $67.
The protective helmet cost $25.

To find the percent that the price of the skateboard was out of the total amount, add 67 and 25 and divide 67 by the result.

Step 1:
67 + 25 = 92

Step 2:
67/92 = 0.728 or 72.8%.

The correct option is B.

Which graph represents the given equation?<br> y<br> =<br> NICO<br> + 4r – 2
guajiro [1.7K]

Equations can be represented on graphs by plotting the corresponding x and y values. The graph of y = \frac{3}{2}x^2 + 4x - 2 is option (B).

Given that:

y = \frac{3}{2}x^2 + 4x - 2

First, we check the y intercept of y = \frac{3}{2}x^2 + 4x - 2

This is when x = 0

So, we have:

y = \frac{3}{2}x^2 + 4x - 2

y = \frac{3}{2} \times 0^2 + 4\times 0 - 2

y = - 2

This point is represented as: (0,-2)

Next, check the equation when x = 1

So, we have:

y = \frac{3}{2}x^2 + 4x - 2

y = \frac{3}{2} \times 1^2 + 4\times 1 - 2

y = 3.5

This point is represented as: (1,3.5)

From the list of given options (see attachment).

Only graph B has the (0,-2) and (1,3.5) on its curve.

Hence, option (B) is correct.
