The y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2
<h3>How to determine the y-intercept?</h3>
The function is given as
y = 3x - 2
The above function is a linear function, and the y-intercept is the point on the graph, where x = 0 i.e. the point (0, y)
As a general rule, linear functions are those functions that have constant rates or slopes
Next, we set x to 0, and calculate y to determine the value of the y-intercept
y = 3(0) - 2
Remove the bracket in the above equation
y = 3 * 0 - 2
Evaluate the product of 3 and 0 i.e. multiply 3 and 0
y = 0 - 2
Evaluate the difference of 0 and -2 i.e. subtract 0 from 2
y = -2
The above means that the value of y when x is 0 is -2
Hence, the y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2

Explanation:
Consider the attached diagram.
Circles A and B have mutual tangents CF and DE that intersect at point F.
We know that the two tangents to a circle from an external point are congruent, so ...
FE≅ FC
FD ≅ FC
By the transitive property of congruence, both segments congruent to FC are congruent to each other:
FD ≅ FE
Therefore, CF is a bisector of DE.
Answer:
a. x = 7
b. x = 36/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.
<u>a). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE
We can write,
AB/AD = AC/AE
3/6 = x/(x + 7)
3(x + 7) = 6 * x
3x + 21 = 6x
6x - 3x = 21
3x = 21
x = 21/3 = 7
<u>b). To find the value of x</u>
From the figure b we get
ΔABC ~ ΔEDF
AB/DE = BC/DF
4/5 = x/9
x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5
So to get the answer, we just add the number of bones in your hands and bones in your skull
1/4 (bones in hands) + 1/10 (bones in skull)
we can only add fractions that have the same denominator (bottom number in a fraction) so we change the numbers to have a common denominator:
5/20 + 2/20 = 7/20
so 7/20 of your bones are in your hands or skull
