Answer:

The value of a is "3", to complete the coordinate point (3,7) on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the slope of the line, and also one point through which the line passes. Therefore, we can find the actual equation of the line by using the slope-point form of the line:

$y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\\y-(-2)=(-3)(x-6)\\y+2=-3x+18\\y=-3x+18-2\\y=-3x+16$

Now, we need to find which value of "x" renders a y-value of "7", to complete the coordinate pair (a, 7) as requested. Therefore, we ask for the y-value in the previous equation to be "7", and solve for its associated x-value:

$y=-3x+16\\7=-3x+16\\7-16=-3x\\-9=-3x\\x=\frac{-9}{-3} \\x=3$

Therefore, x = 3

What is the y-intercept of y = 5x - 1?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Given Equation: y=5x-1

as we know that the y intercept have, x coordinate(absicasse) equal to 0

so,put x=0 to get y intercept

i.e, y =5×0 -1

i.e, y= -1

each time kim pour water from a jug into a glass, exactly 10% of the water remaining in the jug is used. What is the minimum num

Gnoma [55]

The correct answer is:

At least 7 times.

Explanation:

Since 10% of the water in the jug is removed each time, this means that 100-10=90% of the water remains.

After two times, we would have 0.9(0.9) = 0.81 = 81% of the water; each time she pours, the number of times 0.9 is multiplied by itself changes. This makes this an exponential inequality (it is not an equation, as we want "less than half of the water"):

$0.5 < 0.9^x$
