Answer:

<em>A) The x-intercept decreases. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

<em> Consider the function f(x) = mx + b, where m > 0. </em>

<em>If the value of b decreases, but the value of m remains the same, what will happen to the x-intercept? </em>

<em>A) The x-intercept decreases. </em>

<em>B) The x-intercept increases. </em>

<em>C) The x-intercept approaches zero. </em>

<em>D) The x-intercept remains the same </em>

Here is my answer:

Given the function f(x) = mx + b, where m > 0.

x-intercept happen when y =0

When b decreases and m stay the same, the value of f(x) will be decreased. For example:  f(x)= 2x + 3 = 0

When  b unchanged, m unchanged we have: 2x + 3 = 0 <=> x = -3/2

When  b decreases to 2, m unchanged we have: 2x + 2 = 0 <=> x = -1

Obviously that,  -1 < -3/2 so the x-intercept will be decreased

Which is the solution to the inequality y+15 &lt;3?
Paraphin [41]

To solve an equation or inequality, you can add the same value to both sides of the expression. Here, it is convenient to choose that value to be the opposite of the constant (+15) added to y, so that constant is replaced by zero.


  y + 15 - 15 < 3 - 15 . . . . . we have added -15 to both sides

  y < -12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the result of simplifying. This is your solution.

A Japanese garden has a circular koi pond in the middle that has a radius of 3 feet. A rectangle with length of 16 feet and widt
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

first, find the area of the circle cut.

r= 3 feet

π=3.14

area of a circle= πr²= 3.14×3×3= 28.26 sq.feet

Now, find the area of the rectangle and subtract it by the area of the circle.

area of rectangle = l×b

length of the rectangle= 16 feet

breadth/width of the rectangular garden= 14 feet

area=  16×14= 224 sq. feet

now, area of the garden surrounding the koi pond=  224-28.26

                                                                                     =195.74 sq. feet

PLEASE HELP ASAP! The quotient of two rational numbers is positive. What can you conclude about the signs of the dividend and th
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

They either both have to be positive or negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 1 = 1

-1 / -1 = 1

This gets you positive, when both dividend and divisors are positive or negative.

-1 / 1 = -1

1 / -1 = -1

This gets you negative, when both dividend and divisors are different signs.
