The correct answer is C) 1/3 and (0, 1)
The y-intercept part is somewhat simple. In order for it to be a y-intercept, the x value of the ordered pair must be 0. That is only true in B and C, therefore they are the only possible answers.
To find the slope, we must choose two points on the line and use the slope formula. We can start by using the y-intercept (0, 1) and also (3, 2). Now we use the slope formula.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this equation m is equal to slope, the first point is (x1, y1) and the second point is (x2, y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (2 - 1)/(3 - 0)
m = 1/3
Now knowing the slope, you can match this with answer C.
Answer:
25m + 10b = 400
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount that can be earned = $ 400
Amount earned on mowing a lawn = $ 25
Amount earned per hour on babysitting = $10
Amount earned for mowing one lawn is $ 25, so amount earned for mowing m lawns will be $ 25m
Amount earned for one hour of babysitting is $ 10, so amount earned for babysitting for b hours will be $ 10b
Total amount earned = Amount earned from mowing m lawns + Amount earned from babysitting for b hours
Using the values from above, we can set up the equation as:
400 = 25m + 10b
or
25m + 10b = 400
This equation represents the number of lawns they can mow, m, and hours they can babysit, b, to earn $400.
Answer:
x = - 
, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - x - 
= 0
Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction
4x² - 4x - 3 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4
The factors are + 2 and - 6
Use these factors to split the x- term
4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term
(2x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = -
2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x =
