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

What’s the inverse of f(x) = -2 + 2/3x

saveliy_v [14]

So the steps to find the inverse are:

Change f(x) to y
Switch the positions of x and y
Solve for y
Change y to f^-1(x)

$f(x)=-2+ \frac{2}{3}x\\\\y=-2+ \frac{2}{3}x\\\\x=-2+ \frac{2}{3}y$

Now let's solve for y as such:

$x=-2+ \frac{2}{3}y \\\\x+2=\frac{2}{3}y\\\\\frac{3}{2} (x+2)=y\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+3=y\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+3=f^{-1}(x)$

Your inverse is f^-1(x) = 3/2x + 3

Which expression is equivalent to 9 p minus 3 p + 2? 8p 14p 6 p + 2 9 p minus 1

tankabanditka [31]

Your answer is c.

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s say P is worth 1: 9 times 1 equals 9: 3 times 1 equals 3: 9 - 3 = 6/ 6 + 2 equals 8. Now this is C: 6 times 1 equals 6/ 6+ 2 = 8
