Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say Friday papers are x

Saturday papers are 2x

Total cost of Friday papers are .75x

Total cost of Saturday papers are 3x

.75x+3x=116.25

3.75x=116.25

X=31

Using y=mx+b

m stands for slope, b stands for y-intercept

slope is rise/run, the y-intercept is the point where the line touches the y-axis

1- y=(4/6)x+(-2)

2- y=(-2)x+(3)

Change each standard form equation to slope-intercept form!
goldenfox [79]
Hello! 

Slope-intercept form is this one: y=a*x+b where a is the slope and b the intercept. 

So, for transforming these equations to Slope-Intercept you'll need to rearrange the equations by adding or subtracting the same amounts on both sides of the equation (as a rule of thumb, sums are transformed into subtractions and multiplications into divisions).

<span>1) 3x + y = 12

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting 3x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

</span>3x+y-3x=12-3x \\ y=12-3x
<span>
To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b 

</span>y=-3x+12
<span>
So, the slope is -3 and the intercept is 12

2) 8=y+5x

</span>You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting 5x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the right side:

8-5x=y+5x-5x \\ 8-5x=y

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b 

y=-5x+8

So, the slope is -5 and the intercept is 8

3) 6x + 3y = -9

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting 6x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

6x+3y-6x=-9-6x \\ 3y=-9-6x

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by 3 to cancel this number on the left side.

\frac{3}{3}y= \frac{9}{3}- \frac{6}{3}x  \\ y=3-2x

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b 

y=-2x+3

So, the slope is -2 and the intercept is 3

4) 
x - 5y = 55

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by subtracting x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

x-5y-x=-55-x \\ -5y=-55-x

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by -5 to cancel this number on the left side.

\frac{-5}{-5}y= \frac{55}{-5}- \frac{1}{-5}x \\ y=-11+ \frac{1}{5}x

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b 

y=\frac{1}{5}x-11


So, the slope is 1/5 and the intercept is -11

5) -4x-y=-2
You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by adding 4x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the left side:

-4x-y+4x=-2+4x \\ -y=2+4x 

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by -1 to cancel this number on the left side.

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

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b 

y=-4x+2

So, the slope is -4 and the intercept is 2

6) -16 = -4x + 2y

You should notice that Y and X are on the same side of the equation, so by adding 4x on both sides of the equation you'll cancel X on the right side:

-16+4x=-4x+2y+4x \\ -16+4x=2y

Now, you should notice that y has a number that is multiplying it, so you'll need to divide the entire equation by 2 to cancel this number on the right side.

\frac{-16}{2}+ \frac{4}{2} x= \frac{2}{2}y \\ -8+2x=y

To finish, we rearrange this equation to the form y=a*x+b 

y=2x-8

So, the slope is 2 and the intercept is -8

I hope that this helps. Have a nice day!

What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-8)(x-2)
stich3 [128]
F(x)=(x−8)(x−2)

y=(x−5)2−9
(Pretend the 2 is an exponent)

Use the vertex form, y=a(x−h)2+ky=a(x-2+k, to determine the values of a,h, and k.

a=1
h=5
k=-9

Find the vertex (h, k).
(5, -9)
