What is the y-intercept of the equation 3y + 2x =-21?

Answer: -7

Step-by-step explanation: To identify the y-intercept of the line, we would first convert the equation to slope-intercept form.

In slope-intercept form or y = mx + b form, the <em>y</em>

is by itself on the left side of the equation.

So our first task in this problem is to get <em>y</em> by itself on the left side of the equation and we do that by first subtracting 2x from both sides to get 3y = -2x - 21.

Notice that I put the x term first on the right side of the equation and then the number because in y = mx + b form, the x term comes first on the right side of the equation.

Continuing on, to get <em>y</em> by itself we would

divide both sides by 3 to get y = -2/3x - 7.

Now our equation is written in slope-intercept form and

we can identity that the y-intercept of this line is -7.

In slope-intercept form, we can classify the following values.

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Turn the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

3y + 2x = -21

~Subtract 2x to both sides

3y + 2x - 2x = -21 - 2x

~Simplify

3y = -21 - 2x

~Divide 3 to both sides

3y/3 = -21/3 - 2/3x

~Simplify

y = -7 - 2/3x

~Put into correct order

y = -2/3x - 7

So, the y-intercept is -7

Best of Luck!

Zack has been planting young trees in his garden. The maple tree that is 42 inches tall is growing 1 inch per month, whereas the
kolezko [41]

In 16 months, two trees will be of same height

The trees will be of 58 inches tall

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of months

<em><u>The maple tree that is 42 inches tall is growing 1 inch per month</u></em>

Thus, equation for maple tree is given as:

Maple tree : 42 + 1 inch (number of months)

Maple tree : 42 + x ------- eqn 1

<em><u>The oak tree that is 10 inches tall is growing 3 inches per month</u></em>

Thus, equation for oak tree is given as:

Oak tree : 10 + 3 inch (number of months)

Oak tree : 10 + 3x -------- eqn 1

<em><u>For two two trees to be equal in height, equate eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

42 + x = 10 + 3x\\\\3x - x = 42 - 10\\\\2x = 32\\\\x = 16

Thus, in 16 months, two trees will be of same height

<em><u>What will that height be?</u></em>

Substitute x = 16 in any one eqn

10+3x = 10 + 3(16) = 10+48 = 58

Thus the trees will be of 58 inches tall
