First, we have to understand the slope-intercept form.

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

A linear function/equation has three forms and the slope-intercept is one of the form. It is also commonly used in Function topic while the other two forms are commonly used in Analytic Geometry.

In the slope-intercept form, the m-term represents the slope while b-term represents the y-intercept of a graph.

Which equation represents a linear function that has a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of -6.

As you notice the bold, italic and underlined words in the question that I quoted or rewrote. I've just explained that the slope is m-term and y-intercept is b-term.

Therefore, substitute m = 5 and b = -6 in the equation.

$\large{y = mx + b \longrightarrow \bold{y = 5x + ( - 6)}} \\ \large \boxed{ \tt{ \purple{y = 5x - 6}}}$

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions regarding the linear function, don't hestitate to ask. Good luck with your assignment and have a nice day!

Dominic is making meatballs. He uses 34 cups of breadcrumbs for every 114 pounds of ground beef. How many cups of breadcrumbs do

elena-s [515]

114 pounds = 34 cups
1 pound = 34/114
134 pounds = 34/114 x 134= 39.9
~40 cups (aprox)

Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle.

We cannot use the Pythagoras theorem as the lengths of all sides are not known. We will use triangular ratios here to solve the given problem.

As it is clear from the diagram that x is the hypotenuse of the triangle and 11 is the length of the base. We will use a ratio in which base and hypotenuse are used.

So,

cos ⁡θ= base/hypotenuse

cos⁡ 28=11/x

x=11/cos⁡28

x=11/0.8829

x=12.45

Rounding off to nearest 10

x=12.5

The product of -3 and the square of a number decreased by 8.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

$n^{2}(-3) -8$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the "product of" means the answer to a multiplication problem. That means -3 is being multiplied by a number which is squared. I used the variable "n" for number but you could use any letter you want.

This is what we have so far,

$n^{2} \\$ x -3 or $n^{2}$ (-3)

The term decreased means to reduce or subtract. Which means we are left with....

$n^{2}(-3) -8$

Hope that helps and have a great day!
