In order to find the y-intercept, replace x by 0.
So, for first option:
f(0) = 7(1) - 2 = 5
For second option:
f(0) = -3(1) - 5 = -8
For third option:
f(0) = 5(1)-1=4
For Fourth option:
f(0) = -5(1) + 10 = 5
For Fifth Option:
f(0) = 2(1) + 5 = 7
So, option 1 and 4 have the y-intercept (0,5)
Answer:
The minimum of cows he needs are: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
There's a relation between each animal:
5 chickens equals 1 pig
3 pigs equals 2 sheep
5 sheep equals 2 cows
You can understand it as the following three abstractions:
5c = 1p (1)
3p = 2s (2)
5s = 2o (3)
Where:
c is for chickens
p is for pigs
s is for sheep
o is for cows
So now you have three equations with 4 variables. The next step is to obtain an equation that relates directly the variable c (chickens) with the variable o (cows). In order to do that from the equation 2 we obtain s in terms of p, as follow:

Then we replace s in the equation 3 and we obtain v in terms of p:


Now we replace v in the equation 1:

(4)
The equation 4 means that 1 chicken equals the fifteenth part of a cow. For this case the farmer needs 20 chikens, so we multiply per 20 each part of the equation 4:
As it is impossible to have 1.3333 cows, the answer is 2 cows approximately.
Answer:
<em>7-5 = 2, 2*2 = 4, 15-4+4 = 15.</em>
