Answer:

d. y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line parallel to the x-axis will always be in the form y=b, where b is the y-intercept (where on the y-axis the line crosses). So, for y=5, the line crosses the y-axis when y is equal to 5.

The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis will always be in the form x=d, where d is the x-intercept (where on the x-axis the line crosses). So, for option a, x=5, it is a vertical line that crosses the x-axis when x is equal to 5. It is therefore not parallel to the x-axis.

Option b gives an equation that isn't for a linear relation entirely.

Linear equations are typically given in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is, again, the y-intercept. Option c presents the equation of y=x, and this can be rewritten as y=1x+0. In other words, the slope of the line is 1 and it crosses the y axis when y is equal to 0. Lines that are parallel to the x-axis will always have a slope of 0, so therefore, this line is not parallel to the x-axis.

I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

3 = 2/3 m

m = 9/2

by the matrix property of associative: (A+B)+C = A+(B+C)

H = [-2 8 -1]

m x H = 9/2 x [-2 8 1] = [-9 36 -9/2]

A small toy company makes only cars and trucks. The profit made on cars is $2 each and the profit made on trucks is $3 each. To

pishuonlain [190]

A toy company needs to profit at least $500 from selling cars and trucks. A car can make a profit $2 while the truck can $3 profit.
let x be the number of cars
let y be the number of truck
If 200 resources for the car per week, we have:
Profit = $2x + $3y
$500 = $2*200 + $3*y
$500 - $400 = $3y
100 = 3y
y =100/3 = 33.33

The number of trucks needs to produce per week is at least 34 pieces.
