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

Answer: 
Choice A
1/17; no, they are dependent events

============================================

Explanation:

There are 13 spades and 52 cards total. So 13/52 = 1/4 is the probability of drawing one spade

If we do not replace the card we pull out, then the probability of another spade is 12/51 since there are 12 spades left out of 51 total. 

Multiply the fractions 1/4 and 12/51 to get
(1/4)*(12/51) = (1*12)/(4*51) = 12/204 = 1/17

The two events are not independent because the second event (pulling out a second spade) depends entirely on what happens in the first event (pulling out a first spade). The fact that the probability is altered indicates we have dependent events.

A family went to a restaurant for dinner. The subtotal for the meal including tax is $65.90. The family decided to leave a 20% t
maxonik [38]

Answer:

$79.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 20% of 65.90. 20% as a decimal is 0.20. Multiply 0.2 and 65.90.

65.90 x 0.20 = 13.18

Add 13.18 to the original price.

13.18 + 65.90 = 79.08

The distance of a point P(x, y) from the origin O(0, 0) is given by OP=__​
Naily [24]

Answer:-

\boxed{\sf \sqrt{x^2+y^2}}

Explanation:-

  • P(x,y)
  • O(0,0)

We know distance formula

\boxed{\sf \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto OP=\sqrt{(0-x)^2+(0-y)^2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto OP=\sqrt{(-x)^2+(-y)^2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto OP=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}
