Answer: option C is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of the function is the point on the y or vertical axis at which the straight line cuts through it. The value on the y axis is read off as the y-intercept .

The equation of a straight line is modelled using the slope - intercept equation of

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope( change in value of y/ change in value of x.

c = the y-intercept

Looking at the function given,

f(x)=4 – 5x? Where f(x) is the same as y in our slope intercept equation.

Rearranging the function, it becomes

f(x)= – 5x +4

The intercept is 4

Option C is the correct answer.

I don't really understand what it's asking

I think this is fully incorrect because there has to be one girl out of those 50 people and I also think that there are gonna be 5th and 6th graders in those 50 people too!

A theater has a seating capacity of 750 and charges $3 for children, s5 for students, and $7 for adults. At a certain screening

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Between 150 and 450

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to find the number by resolving a system of linear equations.

First we write the system equations :

$C+S+A=750$

Where C : children, S : students and A : adults

The equation represents the ''full attendance''

The second equation :

$3C+5S+7A=3450$

This equation represents the totaled receipts.

The system :

$C+S+A=750\\3C+5S+7A=3450$

has the following associated matrix :

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&750\\3&5&7&3450\end{array}\right]$

By performing elementary matrix operations we find that the matrix is equivalent to

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-1&150\\0&1&2&600\\\end{array}\right]$

The new system :

$C-A=150\\S+2A=600$

Working with the equations :

$C = 150 + A\\S = 600-2A$

Our solution vector is :

$\left[\begin{array}{c}C&S&A\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}150+A&600-2A&A\end{array}\right]$

For example :

If 0 adults attended ⇒ A = 0

$C = 150 + 0 \\C = 150\\S = 600 - 2A\\S = 600$

This verify the totaled receipts equation :

150($3)+600($5) = $ 3450

A ≥ 0 ⇒ If A = 0 ⇒ C = 150

C = 150 is the minimum children attendance

From the equation :

$S = 600 -2A$

S ≥0

600 - 2A ≥ 0

600 ≥ 2A

300≥ A

A is restricted to the interval [ 0, 300]

When A = 0 ⇒ C = 150

When A = 300 ⇒C = 150 + A = 150 + 300 = 450

Children ∈ [ 150,450]

With C being an integer number (including 0)

Also S and A are integer numbers (including 0)

Answer:

The transformation of $g(x)$ to $k(x)$ consists in a vertical translation. The new equation is $k(x) = -12\cdot x-6$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $g(x) = -12\cdot x - 3$ . We proceed to make the required transformations on $g(x)$ , which consists in one vertical translation, 3 units in the -y direction. That is to say:
