The equation of a line is x + 5y = 12. What is the y-intercept of the line

1 answer:

4 0

Simple...

remember isolate the variable...

x+5y=12

x+5y=12
-x

5y=12-x

Now divide y 5....

$\frac{5y}{5} = -\frac{x}{5} + \frac{12}{5}$

The y-intercept would be....

$\frac{12}{5}$

Thus, your answer.

Consider the line y=4x-4.

erica [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

parallel: y = 4x -6
perpendicular: y = -1/4x +27/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want the new line to be written in slope-intercept form, we need to find the new value of the y-intercept. The equation of the line is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . . . for slope m and y-intercept b

Solving for b gives ...

b = y -mx . . . . . . . subtract mx from both sides.

The values of x and y come from the point we want the line to pass through. The value of m will be the same for the parallel line as for the given line: 4. For the perpendicular line, it will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/4.

<u>Parallel line</u>

b = 6 -4(3) = 6 -12 = -6

y = 4x -6

Perpendicular line

b = 6 -(-1/4)(3) = 6 +3/4 = 27/4

y = -1/4x +27/4

In training for a swim meet, Logan swam 750 meters in 1/3 of an hour. His swimming partner Mila, swam 2/3 of Logan's distance in

Brut [27]

Answer:

speed of Logan is 37.5 m/minutes

speed of Milo is 33.33 meters per minutes

Speed of Logan is greater than speed of Milo

difference in speed = 37.5 - 33.33 = 4.17 meters per minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we will calculate speed in meters per minutes

we know 1 hour = 60 minutes and

1 minutes = 60 seconds

speed = distance/time

____________________________________

For Logan

distance = 750 meters

time = 1/3 of hour = 1/3 *60 minutes = 20 minutes

speed = 750/20 = 37.5 meters per minute

__________________________________________________

For milo

distance = 2/3 of Logan's distance = 2/3 * 750 meters = 500 meters

time = 1/4 of hour = 1/4 *60 minutes =15 minutes

speed = 500/15 = 33.33 meters per minute

Thus, speed of Logan is 37.5 m/minutes

speed of Milo is 33.33 meters per minutes

Speed of Logan is greater than speed of Milo

difference in speed = 37.5 - 33.33 = 4.17 meters per minutes

Using coupons, you spend $120 grocery shopping. This is 80% of the total retail price of the groceries. How much would you spend

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: The correct answer is $150.

Step-by-step explanation: If you did not use the coupons while shopping you would have spent $150. The method to calculate this is to divide the amount that you paid by the percentage that you paid.

The formula that you need to use is $120/.8 = $150.
