We are given that a car starts a journey with a full tank of gas. The equation
relates the number of gallons of gas (y) left in the tank to the number of miles the car has traveled(x).
A. We will find y intercept by substituting x=0 in our equation,


Now let us find our x-intercept by substituting y=0 in our equation,



Therefore, x-intercept is 320 and y-intercept is 16.
B. Our x-intercept represents that after travelling 320 miles there were 0 or none gallons of gas left in tank.
C. Our y-intercept represents that there were 16 gallons of gas in car tank when car started the journey.
Answer:
Yes because they both have a right angle
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.
3x -5 = 6x - 8
3x + (-5+5) = 6x -8 + 5
(3x - 6x) = (6x - 6x) - 3
-3x/-3 = -3/-3
x = 1
Step 2: To solve for y take one of the given equation of your choice (for the purpose of this explanation I will only do y = 3x - 5) and replace x with 1, then solve for y
y = 3(1) - 5
y = 3 - 5
y = -2
(1,-2)
Check:
-2 = 3(1) - 5 ---> - 2 = -2
-2 = 6(1) - 8 ---> -2 = -2
Hope this helped!
Answer:
y = x² - 4x - 21
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (2, - 25), thus
y = a(x - 2)² - 25
To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation
0 = a(7 - 2)² - 25 = a(5)² - 25 = 25a - 25 ( add 25 from both sides )
25a = 25 ( divide both sides by 25
a = 1, thus
y = (x - 2)² - 25 ← in vertex form
Expand and simplify
y = x² - 4x + 4 - 25
y = x² - 4x - 21 ← in standard form
