What is the x-and y-intercept of the graph 4x -5y =40??

Mathematics

Answer:

x-intercept = 10

y-intercept = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5y=40

To identify the y-intercept, we will need to format the equation in the form y=mx+b. We can start by subtracting 4x from both sides of the equation:

-5y=-4x+40

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of y, which is -5:

y=\frac{-4}{-5} x - 8

The b is representative of the y-intercept in y=mx+b.

Identify b in the equation y=\frac{-4}{-5} x - 8:

b=-8

Therefore, our y-intercept is -8.

To solve for the x-intercept, replace the y in the equation y=\frac{-4}{-5} x - 8 with a zero:

0=\frac{-4}{-5} x - 8

Add 8 to both sides of the equation:

8=\frac{-4}{-5} x

You can go ahead and divide -4 by -5 to get rid of the fraction:

8=0.8x

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is 0.8:

10=x

Therefore, our x-intercept is 10.

The formula to find the period of orbit of a satellite around a planet is (T^2) = (4pi^2/ gm) r3 where r is the orbit’s mean rad
Inga [223]
See the attached graphic to see this solved for "r".
You should be very careful about stating the units for each of those variables.
time in seconds
radius in meters
mass in kilograms
G = 6.674 x 10^-11 m^3 / (kilograms * seconds²)
Also, it would be worth your while to go to this web page http://www.1728.org/kepler3a.htm
It has a calculator and other information about Kepler's Third Law.

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (2, 1). Pease show how!
mote1985 [20]
Check the picture below.

using a second for it, since it's a horizontal line, then say hmmm we'll use the y-intercept, or (0, 1), so the equation of a line that passes through (2,1) and (0,1)

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 1}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{1-1}{0-2}\implies \cfrac{0}{-2}
\\\\\\
% point-slope intercept
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-1=0(x-2)

Niles and Bob sailed at the same time for the same length of time. Niles' sailboat traveled 36 miles at a speed of 6 mph, while
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed or rate at which an object is moving can be computed using the formula:

s=\frac{d}{t}

Here:

<em>s</em> = speed

<em>d</em> = distance traveled

<em>t</em> = time taken

It is provided that Niles and Bob sailed at the same time for the same length of time.

Speed of Niles sailboat is, <em>s</em>₁ = 6 mph.

Distance traveled by Niles' sailboat is, <em>d</em>₁ = 36 miles.

Speed of Bob's sailboat is, <em>s</em>₂ = 16 mph.

Distance traveled by Bob's sailboat is, <em>d</em>₂ = 96 miles.

It took both Niles and Bob the same time to travel the respective distance.

Compute the time it took Niles to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed as follows:

t_{1}=\frac{d_{1}}{s_{1}}

   =\frac{36}{6}\\=6

It took Niles 6 hours to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed.

Compute the time it took Bob to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed as follows:

t_{2}=\frac{d_{2}}{s_{2}}

   =\frac{96}{16}\\=6

It took Bob 6 hours to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed.

Thus, Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line 13x-2y=14
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets put this into y=mx+b form.

You can bring the 13x over to the 14, by subtracting and you get -2y=14-13x, or also -2y = -13x + 14

Then you can divide both sides by -2 to get y, and you get

-2y/-2 = -13x/-2 + 14/-2 which is simplified to y=13/2x + (-7) which is

y=13/2x-7

                                {[( IMPORTANT )]}

 THIS HAS THE SLOPE IN A IMPROPER FRACTION... CHECK IF YOU USE MIXED NUMBERS OR IMPROPER FRACTIONS

the mixed number form is y = 7     1/2 x -7

Hope this helps!
