We are given that a car starts a journey with a full tank of gas. The equation y=16-0.05x relates the number of gallons of gas (y) left in the tank to the number of miles the car has traveled(x).

A. We will find y intercept by substituting x=0 in our equation,

y=16-0.05*0

y=16

Now let us find our x-intercept by substituting y=0 in our equation,

0=16-0.05x

0.05x=16

x=\frac{16}{0.05}=320

Therefore, x-intercept is 320 and y-intercept is 16.

B. Our x-intercept represents that after travelling 320 miles there were 0 or none gallons of gas left in tank.

C. Our y-intercept represents that there were 16 gallons of gas in car tank when car started the journey.

X=25.36+0.45(25.36)<br><br> LaTeX: x=
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

x=36.772  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression x=25.36+0.45(25.36)

To find : Solve the expression ?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression,

x=1(25.36)+0.45(25.36)

Step 2 - Apply distributive, ab+ac=a(b+c)

Here, a=25.36, b=1, c=0.45

x=25.36(1+0.45)

Step 3 - Solve the expression,

x=25.36\times 1.45

x=36.772

Therefore, x=36.772

What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and (3, 7)? (1 point) y = −2x + 1 y = −2x − 1 y
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: y=2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is \frac{7-3}{3-1}=\frac{4}{2}=2

Using the point (1,3) to substitute into point-slope form,

y-3=2(x-1)\\\\y-3=2x-2\\\\\boxed{y-2x+1}
