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

Only D is correct, it intersects at 90 degrees so it cant be obtuse or acute and never intersecting would be parallel lines <span />

If 3 is added to twice a number, the result is 17. Find the number

Crank

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The text of this expression is:

"If 3 is added to twice a number, the result is 17. Find the number"

Let's call $x$ the number we want to find.

Twice the number is equal to

$2x$

So, if we add 3 to 2x, we get

$3+2x$

And we know that this is equal to 17:

$3+2x=17$

Now we can solve the equation to find x: first, we subtract 3 from both sides

$3+2x-3=17-3\\2x=14$

Now we divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{14}{2}\\x=7$

Find the point slope equation for (-2,-20) and (9,79)

dem82 [27]

Start by identifying your x1, x2, y1, and y2 values
x1: -2
x2: 9
y1: -20
y2: 79

The general form for writing a point slope equation is y-y1 = m(x-x1)
M is your slope.
To find the slope, plug the values you just identified into the equation y2-y1/x2-x1
This leaves you with 79+20/9+2
Which equals 9, so your slope (m) equals nine.
you can now plug everything into the general form which gives you:
y+20 = 9(x+2)
