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.

Please help! I can't seem to figure this stuff out...
Fudgin [204]
1: always rearrange the equation to y = mx + c so....
x - y = o

x = y

So the gradient is 1 and it intersects the y axis at (0,0)

The three points could be (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) and so on



2: -x -2y = -10
Multiply everything by -1

x + 2y = 10

2y = 10 - x

y = 5 - x/2

The y intercept is 5 so you could use the point (0,5), (2,4), (4,3) and so on



3: x + y = -2

y = -2 - x

The y intercept is -2 so you could use the points (0,-2), (2,-4), (3,-5) and so on



4: -3y =-x -7

Multiply everything by -1

3y = x + 7

y = x/3 + 7/3

The y intercept is 7/3 so you could use the points (0,7/3), (3,10/3), (6,13/3) and so o



5: -y = -x + 1

y = x - 1

The y intercept is -1 so you could use the points (0,-1), (2,1), (3,2) and so on


Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)

Find each percent decrease. Round to the nearest percent.
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

67%

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we must find the decrease;

39 - 13

=26

Then we can find the percentage decrease

26/13 ×100 =66.666..which can be written as 67.

True [87]

Answer:

$540

Step-by-step explanation:

2460 = 4x + k

1920 = 3x + k

k is our student service fee, which we represent as a constant

subtracting the equations to remove k and isolate x, our cost per course

540 = x
