Mathematics

Julli [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The slope is -0.89 and the y-intercept is (0, -3.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope and y-intercept, convert the equation to y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.

Convert the equation by rearranging the terms using inverse operations.

-1.7x - 1.9y = 5.8                                 Add 1.7x to both sides.

+1.7x                     +1.7x

------------------------------------

       -1.9y = 5.8 + 1.7x                         Divide both sides by -1.9.

            y= - 0.89 x - 3.05

This is now in y=mx+b and m=-0.89 and b=-3.05.

The slope is -0.89 and the y-intercept is (0, -3.05).

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 70 represents the number of people waiting to by tickets at the exactly moment when the ticket booth is opened.

You can see this by setting the x value to 0, it is, in the precise moment when the booth opened (as x cant be negative, because there is no negative time, you could also think of 70 as the number of people waiting before the booth opens).
