Answer:

The y-coordinate of their intersection point is 3

That is y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two lines are y=6x+15 and y=mx+4

Given that the two lines intersect at x=-2

To find the y coordinate of their intersection point :

Equating the two lines

6x+15=mx+4

6x+15-mx-4=0

6x-mx+11=0

(6-m)x+11=0

At x=-2  (6-m)x+11=0

(6-m)(-2)+11=0

(6-m)(-2)=-11

6-m=\frac{11}{2}

-m=\frac{11}{2}-6

-m=\frac{11-12}{2}

-m=\frac{-1}{2}

m=\frac{1}{2}

Substitute the value m=\frac{1}{2} in y=mx+4 we get

y=\frac{1}{2}x+4

At x=-2 y=\frac{1}{2}(-2)+4

=-1+4

=3

Therefore y=3

Therefore the y-coordinate of their intersection point is 3

Order these from least to greatest 3 39/40 , 3 19/20 , 3 1/2
Lera25 [3.4K]

Hey!

First change all the fractions so that they have a common denominator: 40

3 \frac{39}{40} = 3 \frac{39}{40}

3 \frac{19 \times 2}{20 \times 2} = 3 \frac{38}{40}

3 \frac{1 \times 20}{2 \times 20} = 3 \frac{20}{40}

Now order them:

3 \frac{39}{40} , 3 \frac{19}{20} , 3 \frac{1}{2}

Good luck and hope this helps! :)

Shelia deposited $800 into an account that earned 3% simple interest. She did not make any other deposits or withdrawals. After
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Sheila earned $120 in interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the interest earned by Sheila we can use the simple interest formula shown bellow:

i = P*r*t

Where i is the interested earned, P is the amount invested, r is the interest rate and t is the total time. For this case we have:

i = 800*0.03*5

i = 24*5

i = 120

Sheila earned $120 in interest.
