Joe took $12 to the arcade. Each game cost $.50 to play. This situation can be modeled with the equation y + -.50 x+ 12. This re

presents the relationship between money Joe has remaining, y, and the number of games he plays, x. Use the function to determine the y-intercept.

Answer: Joe has initial amount of $12 ( when he played no game).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Joe took $12 to the arcade. Each game cost $.50 to play.

This situation can be modeled with the equation y =-0.50 x+ 12.

Here,

Money Joe has remaining is repreesnted by 'y', and the number of games he plays is represented by 'x'.

Since y-intercept gives the initial value of the function when x=0.

To find y-intercept , we out x=0 in funtion , we get

y=-0.50(0)+12=12

So , y-intercept of this function is at y=12.

Meaning of the y-intercept in the terms of this problem :

Joe has initial amount of $12 ( when he played no game).

Answer:

y-intercept is 12 and y-intercept shows the fixed cost of arcade, i.e., $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note : The given equation is not correct.

It is given that Joe took $12 to the arcade and each game cost $0.50 to play.

This situation can be modeled with the equation

y=0.50x+12

where, y is total cost of playing x games.

We need to find y-intercept.

Substitute x=0 in the above equation to find the y-intercept of the equation.

y=0.50(0)+12

y=0+12

y=12

So, the y-intercept is 12.

Here y-intercept represents the total cost if the number of games is zero.

It means y-intercept shows the fixed cost of arcade, i.e., 12.

The temperature is 45°F. The temperature will decrease by 2°F each hour. Let h be the number of hours.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
45 - 2t < 32 ( where t is time and you can replace it with x or h if you prefer)
Solving for t you get:
45 - 2t - 32 < 0
45 - 32 < 2t
13 < 2t
13/2 < t
Or the temperature will drop below 32F after 6 and a half hours

Write an equation of the line passing through the point A(8, 2) that is perpendicular to the line y = 4x−7.
Kay [80]

Answer:

y = - 1/4 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x - 7

Slope = 4

Slope of the perpendicular line = -1/4

Point (8,2)

(b) y-intercept: 2 - (-1/4)(8)

= 2 + 2 = 4

Please help me answer 16 please

Answer:

SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

I can identify that these triangles are congruent by using the SSS (Side, Side, Side) postulate theorem. I know this because first, second, and home triangle share the same side as the third, second, and home triangle, meaning they are congruent, so are the other sides of the angle since the question states they are congruent.
