Answer:

y-intercept (0, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in (1,4) --> (x,y) and solve for b (y-intercept):

y = -4x + b

4 = -4(1) + b

4 = -4 + b

b = 8

Therefore the y-intercept is (0, 8)

To make ribbon and bow for a hat, Stacey needs 5/6 yard of black ribbon and 2/3 yard of red ribbon. how much total ribbon does s

larisa86 [58]

First make the denominators of the fractions the same by multiplying.

$\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$
= $\frac{4}{6}$

Now we just need to add the fractions together

$\frac{5}{6} + \frac{4}{6}$
= $\frac{9}{6}$

9/6 would be the answer, but it can be simplified further, then converted into decimal form.

$\frac{9}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{3}$
= $\frac{3}{2}$
=1.5 yards

Your final answer is 1.5 yards of ribbon are needed.

1. Renting a bicycle at a local Bike shop costs $30 for the first day and $10 for each additional day.

Elza [17]

(a) Create a chart of values and write an equation to find the total cost, C in terms of the number of days d.

C = 10d + 20

(b) Use the equation you created in Part (a) to find the cost of renting a bike for 5 days.

C = 10d + 20
C = 10(5) + 20= 50 + 20 = 70

$70 for 5 days
