It’s option D.) I did a quiz on this !
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out your x-intercepts and y-intercepts you have to redo the equation and make it equal to zero.
Step 1: 8x + 9y - 72 = 0
Step 2: 8x + 9y = 72
Now you can figure out your intercepts! As long as you use the STANDARD FORM EQUATION which is Ax + By = C
Y-INTERCEPT (vertical line): (
, 0 )
X-INTERCEPT (horizontal line): ( 0 ,
)
Insert your numbers how it shows in the standard form equation and you should get something like this:
Y-INTERCEPT: (
, 0 )
<em>Simplified Y-INTERCEPT: </em>( 8 , 0 )
X-INTERCEPT: ( 0 ,
)
<em>Simplified X-INTERCEPT: </em><em> ( 0 , 9 )</em>
<em />
Insert that into your graph and you should be able to get your answer.
The correct answer is the second answer choice. It is the one that starts with (0,-2).
We have this equation to start with: m/n = 5.5. To achieve the desired equation, you need to multiply the entire equation by n, giving you this equation: m = 5.5n. Hope this helps!
