What is the price of the individual boxes?
Answer:
(0,1)- y intercept (1,0) x intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
first lets write this equation in slope intercept form: y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
so
slope formula:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
y2=-3
y1=9
x2=4
x1=-8
so
(-3-9)/(4--8)=-12/12=-1
slope=-1
hence
y=-1x+b
substitute "x" as 4 and "y" as -3
so
-3=-1(4)+b
-3=-4+b
1=b
so
y=-x+1
1=y intercept
and
0=-x+1
-1=-x
1=x
1=x intercept
X^2-9=0 add 9 to both sides
x^2=9 take the square root of both sides
x=±3
