What is the x-intercept 1/2x - 3y = 8

X intercept is when y = 0
so 1/2 x - 0 = 8
solving for x
1/2 x = 8
multiply both sides by 2
x = 16 is the y intercept

So first make it into slope intercept form y=mx+b

1/2x-3y=8
subtract 1/2x from both sides
-3y=8-1/2x
multiply both sides by -1
3y=1/2x-8
divide both sides by 3
y=1/6x-8/3

the x intercept is when y=0
so set y to zero
0=1/6x-8/3
add 8/3 to both sides
8/3=1/6x
multiply both sides by 6
16=x

the x intercept is 16

The regression equation y=0.5x+1.3 approximates the number of hours it takes to arrange a dinner event, y, given the number of p
Sphinxa [80]

It would be C.

For example, say 1 person comes. This would be x=1. Plugging this in gives you,

y=0.5 + 1.3

This shows that C is true since x is always going to be multiplied by 0.5.

1.3 would be the base amount of time it takes to arrange since if it the y-intercept.

Answer:

n=17

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to set the two equations equal to each other because its angles are the same. once you do this, its just simple algebra, trying to solve for n. Hope this helps :)

How do you find the mean of a stem and leaf plot
bonufazy [111]
Well, I know to find the mean you add all the numbers and divide it by how many numbers there were, so I'm guessing you just do that with the stem and leaf plot. I hoped this helped a bit
