Identifying the slope, y-intercept and x- intercept of each

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

slope= -3

y-intercept= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

To solve this problem, one needs the slope and the y-intercept. First, one will solve for the slope, using the given points, then input it into the equation of a line in slope-intercept form. The one can solve for the y-intercept.

2.Solve for the slope

The formula to find the slope of a line is;

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Where (m) is the variable used to represent the slope.

Use the first two given points, and solve;

(1, 3), (2, 0)

Substitute in,

\frac{(0)-(3)}{(2)-(1)}

Simplify;

\frac{-3}{1}\\\\=-3

3. Put equation into slope-intercept form

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is;

y = mx + b

Where (m) is the slope, and (b) is the y-intercept.

Since one solved for the slope, substitute that in, then substitute in another point, and solve for the parameter (b).

y=-3x+b

Substitute in point (3, -3)

-3=-3(3)+b\\-3 = -9 + b\\6 = b

B(n)=1 (-2)^n-1<br> What is the 4th term in the sequence
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The 4th term in the sequence is -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the sequence B is given by:

B(n) = (-2)^{n-1}

So the fourth term will be given by:

B when n = 4, that is, B(4).

B(4) = (-2)^{4-1} = (-2)^{3} = -8

The 4th term in the sequence is -8.

Which statement is true about the equations –3x + 4y = 12 and 1/4x –1/3 y = 1?The system of the equations has exactly one soluti
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The system of the equations has no solution; the two lines are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations have the same slope. In standard form, this can be seen as the same coefficients for x and y. We will multiply the second equation by -12 to reveal this.

\frac{1}{4} x-\frac{1}{3}y=1 \\-12(\frac{1}{4} x-\frac{1}{3}y=1)\\\frac{-12}{4} x-\frac{-12}{3}y=-12\\-3x+4y=-12

This means the equations are parallel and will never cross. There is no solution.
