The x-intercept is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the x-intercept, we put y = 0 and to find the y-intercept we put x = 0

In the given method, x is put equal to zero instead of y as x-intercept had to be found.

Given equation is:

$-2x+3y=12$

$-2x + 3(0) = 12\\-2x +0 = 12\\-2x = 12$

Dividing both sides by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{12}{-2}\\x = -6$

The x-intercept is -6

Which of the following theorems cannot be used to prove two lines are<br> parallel?

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Option H

Step-by-step explanation:

Option F

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

True.

Option G

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

True

Option H

If two line are cut by a transversal so that a pair of vertical angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

Since, vertical angles don't prove the lines cut by a transversal are parallel.

So the statement is False.

Option J

If two lines are are cut by a transversal so that a pair of same side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.

True.

prohojiy [21]

First, we have to calculate the remaining amount of money after the cost of the ticket. It is 200 - 87.96 = 112.04 Dividing this number to 30, we can find the maximum number of t-shirts she can buy. It is less 4 and more than 3. So that, the final answer is 3.
