To find the x intercept, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
2x - 5y = 20
2x - 5(0) = 20
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10....x intercept is (10,0)

to find the y intercept, sub in 0 for x and solve for y
2x - 5y = 20
2(0) - 5y = 20
-5y = 20
y = -20/5
y = -4....y intercept is (0,-4)

1. Slope 0.800/2.000 = 0.400

2. x-intercept = 20/2 = 10

3. y-intercept = 20/-5 = 4/-1 = -4.00000

Hope this helps. :)

rosa sells pens. she pays $0.75 for each pen and sells them for $1.25 each. she uses the expression 1.25p-0.75p, where p is the

Mila [183]

Answer:

The profit is $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given the expression for the profit made as

$1.25p-0.75p,$

we are told that p is the number of pens, hence for p= 48 by substituting into the expression we can find the profit as

Step two:

Profit= 1.25p-0.75p,

Profit= 1.25(48)-0.75(48),

Profit= 60-36

Profit=24

Which values of a, b, and c correctly represent the answer in simplest form? 3 and one-half divided by 2 and one-fourth = a Star

sasho [114]

Answer:

(A) a=1,b=5,c=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify $3\frac{1}{2} \div 2\frac{1}{4}$ for values of a, b and c which satisfies: $a\dfrac{b}{c}$

$3\dfrac{1}{2} \div 2\dfrac{1}{4}\\\text{Changing each fraction to improper fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}\div \dfrac{9}{4}\\\text{Next, we change the division sign to multiplication by taking reciprocal of the second fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}X \frac{4}{9}\\=\dfrac{7X4}{2X9}\\=\dfrac{28}{18}\\$ Converting our result to mixed fraction
