To find the y-intercept, we can convert this to slope-intercept form, or replace the value of x with 0 and solve for y.
We'll do both first.
-x + 5y = 45
5y = 45
Divide both sides by 5.
y = 9
Now let's convert it to slope-intercept.
-x + 5y = 45
Add x to both sides.
5y = 45 + x
Divide both sides by 5.
y = 1/5x + 9
y = 9
<h3><u>The y-intercept of our line is 9.</u></h3>
Can you post a picture with more explanation
8:2 can be simplified to 4:1. (:
Total length of all ribbons = 12 * 3 = 36 inch
Then, number of ribbons = 36/4 = 9
In short, Your Answer would be: 9 sections
Hope this helps!
