Answer:

C.) m = 2 and b = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally:

In an equation of the form y = mx + b

the slope is m

the y-intercept is b

In our equation y = 2x - 8 = 2x + (-8)

then

m = 2 and b = -8

<u>Answer:</u>

$y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 490$

gradient = = $-\frac{2}{3}$

y-intercept = $490$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

• The slope-intercept form of an equation takes the general form:

$\boxed{y = mx + c}$ ,

where:

m = slope,

c = y-intercept.

• We are given the equation:

$2x + 3y = 1470$

To change this into the slope-intercept form, we must make y the subject:

$3y = -2x + 1470$ [subtract $2x$ from both sides]

⇒ $y = -\frac{2}{3}x + \frac{1479}{3}$ [divide both sides by 3]

⇒ $y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 490$

• Comparing this equation with the general form equation, we see that:

m = $-\frac{2}{3}$

c = $490$ .

This means that the gradient is $\bf -\frac{2}{3}$ , and the y-intercept is $\bf 490$ .

Which of the following would best represent a cosine function with an amplitude of 3, a period of pi/2 , and a midline at y = –4

Grace [21]

To transform the function $f(x)= cos(x)$ to have the amplitude of 3, we need to multiply the constant 3 to the function f(x), so we have $y=3f(x)$

To transform the function $f(x)=cos(x)$ to have the midline $y=-4$ we need to subtract $f(x)$ by 4, so we have $y=f(x)-4$ ,

To transform the function $f(x)=cos(x)$ to have period of $\frac{ \pi }{2}$ , we need to divide the original period $2 \pi$ by 4, so we have $y=f(4x)$ . Note that it is the $4x$ gives the effect of dividing the points on x-axes by 4 and the period is read on x-axes

Hence, the full transformation is given $y=3f(4x)-4$ which is the last option

Two farmers bought a truck. The first farmer paid 4/5 of the price, and the second paid the rest. The first farmer's share was

koban [17]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

C) $12,000

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

4/5 = 9600

÷4

1/5 = 2400

4/5 + 1/5 = 5/5 = the whole price

9600 + 2400 = 12000

=$12,000
