Which function has the same y-intercept as the function y equals 2/3 x - 3

aleksley [76]

We have the function $y = \frac{2}{3} x -3$ and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.

First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.

$y = \frac{2}{3} (0) -3 = -3$

Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: $y = ax - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.

Also, any quadratic function of the type: $y=ax^{2} + bx - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.

brooke found the equation of the line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form as follows

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The equation of the line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form is $\mathbf{y=-4x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form.

The general equation of slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$

First we need to find slope

The formula used for finding slope is: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given: $x_1=-7, y_1=25, x_2=-4, y_2=13$

Putting values in formula and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{13-25}{-4-(-7)}\\Slope=\frac{13-25}{-4+7}\\Slope=\frac{-12}{3}\\Slope=-4$

So, slope m= -4

Now finding y-intercept

Using slope m=-4 and point (-7,25) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\25=-4(-7)+b\\25=28+b\\b=25-28\\b=-3$

So, y-intercept b =-3

Now, the equation of required line having slope m=-4 and y-intercept b=-3 is:

$y=mx+b\\y=-4x-3$

So, the equation of the line passing through the points (-7,25) and (-4,13) in slope-intercept form is $\mathbf{y=-4x-3}$

riding find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle use pencil and paper explain how you can interpret the Pythagorea

noname [10]

Solution

Question 1:

- Use of the area of squares to explain the Pythagoras theorem is given below

- The 3 squares given above have dimensions: a, b, and c.

- The areas of the squares are given by:

$\begin{gathered} \text{For square of length }a\to a^2 \\ \text{For square of length }b\to b^2 \\ \text{For square of length }c\to c^2 \end{gathered}$

- The Pythagoras theorem states that:

"The sum of the areas of the smaller squares add up to the area of the biggest square"

Thus, we have:

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Question 2:

- We can apply the theorem as follows:

$\begin{gathered} 10^2+24^2=c^2 \\ 100+576=c^2 \\ 676=c^2 \\ \text{Take square root of both sides} \\ \\ c=\sqrt[]{676} \\ c=26 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the value of c is 26
