The distance between the cities would be 75 miles (3x25)

Answer:

75 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the scale on the map, which is that 1 inch is 25 miles in real life. We can write that as a ratio of 1 inch: 25 miles. Now say we have two inches, then we have 50 miles because we add on another 25 miles, then we do that again and we get to 75 miles.

Another way to think about it (more complicated):

you can represent ratios as a fraction

so we do 1/25=3/x

To find x, we can do (25*3)/1 which equals 75, if you don't know what I did there then you don't know, sorry!

you can also do it in a different way

same scenario though

you represent it as a fraction

and do 1/25=3/x. We see that the ratio from 1 to 3 is multiplied by 3 so that means the ratio from 25 to x is also going to be multiplied by 3, and 25 multiplied by 3 is 75.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

How do i find the x intercet for y=6x−7.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:  

y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  y-6x+7  = 0 and calculate its properties.

Graph of a Straight Line

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is -7/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-7.00000

 y-intercept = -7/1  = -7.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 7/6 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 1.16667

 x-intercept = 7/6  =  1.16667

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -7.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 5.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 5.000 - (-7.000) = 12.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

  Slope     = 12.000/2.000 =  6.000

 Slope = 12.000/2.000 = 6.000

 x-intercept = 7/6 = 1.16667

 y-intercept = -7/1 = -7.00000
