Find the intercepts of the line.y=−5x−17

Mathematics
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x - 17

in y = mx + b form, the y int is in the m position

y = mx + b

y = -5x - 17......so the y int (b) = -17 or (0,-17) <=== y intercept

u can also find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y

u can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x

y = -5x - 17

0 = -5x - 17

5x = -17

x = -17/5......so the x intercept is -17/5 or (0,-17/5) <==== x intercept

A coordinate plane with a line passing through the points (negative 4, negative 5) and (1, negative 1).
Ksju [112]

Answer:

4x - 5y - 9 = 0

\frac{9}{4}

\frac{-9}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line passing through the points (-4,-5) and (1,-1) is given by \frac{y - (-5)}{-5-(-1)} =\frac{x-(-4)}{-4-1}

⇒ \frac{y+5}{-4} =\frac{x+4}{-5}

⇒ 5y + 25 = 4x + 16

⇒ 4x - 5y - 9 = 0 ....(1) (Answer)

Now, this above equation can be represented as

\frac{x}{\frac{9}{4} } + \frac{y}{\frac{-9}{5} } =1

Therefore, the x-intercept is \frac{9}{4} (Answer)

And the y-intercept is \frac{-9}{5}. (Answer)

8. You are paid a commission plus $5.40 per hour with time and a half overtime
Elanso [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $491.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The pay for the first 8 hours is $5.40 per hour × 8 hours = $43.20. Hours over 8 are paid at 1.5 × $5.40 = $8.10 per hour. There are at least 8 hours every day for the 6-day week. There are hours over 8 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday totaling 7 hours of overtime.

The amount of sales is more than $3000, so 4% will be paid on $3000, and 5% will be paid on the $1115 in excess of $3000.

So, the gross pay is ...

  $43.20 × 6 + 8.10 × 7 = $315.90 . . . . wages

  $3000 × .04 +1115 × .05 = $175.75 . . . commission

  $315.90 +1.75.75 = $491.65 . . . . gross pay for the week

babunello [35]

Answer:

The function in the fourth option will have an axis of symmetry at x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose the function from options, the graph of which has an axis of symmetry at x = 3.

The function in the fourth option will have an axis of symmetry at x = 3.

It is f(x) = x2 – 6x – 1 On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (0, negative 1), has a vertex at (3, negative 10), and goes through (6, 0). (Answer)
