So your equation is currently in point-slope form; however, to figure out the slope and y-intercept, you'd be better off in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
while in point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can definitely see the slope as -5, you can't see the y-intercept as easily. x-intercepts are actually the solutions/zeros of a function, and it was included in the answer choices to confuse you.
you're correct about -5 being a decreasing slope. but to figure out the y-intercept, you need to convert to slope-intercept form.
y - 4 = -5(x + 1) ... distribute the -5
y - 4 = -5x - 5 ... add 4
y = -5x - 1
and in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can see that you have a decreasing slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1. your correct answer is A. choices C and D were thrown in to distract you and make you think that the -5(x + 1) was somehow related to discovering the x-intercept.
Z varies inversely as w ⇒ z*w=k
when z=7 and w=8 ⇒ 7*8=56=k
when w=14 ⇒ z*14=56
⇒z=56/14
⇒ z=4
The x-intercepts of the function where the function is given as y(x) = cos(x) are π/2 and 3π/2
<h3>What is the x-intercept of the function?</h3>
The x-intercept of the function is the point or points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis i.e. the point where the function equals 0
<h3>How to find the x-intercepts of the function?</h3>
The function is given as
f(x) = cos(x)
And the interval is given as
[0, 2)
The above means that we determine the value of x when the function f(x) equals 0
So, we have
cos(x) = 0
The above equation can be solved graphically
See attachment for the graph of the function f(x) = cos(x)
In the interval [0, 2), the graph crosses the x-axis at points x = π/2 and 3π/2
Hence, the x-intercepts of the function where the function is given as y(x) = cos(x) are π/2 and 3π/2

Answer:
x = 12.6 pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
total number of coins = 1 + 2+ 4 + 3 = 10 coins
P(penny) =
P(nickels) =
P(dimes) =
P(quarters) =
hence average value of the coin
x = Penny x P(Penny) + nickel x P(nickel) + dimes x P(dimes) + quarters x P(quarters)
nickels = 5 pennies dimes = 10 ; and quarters = 25 pennies

x = 0.1 + 1 + 4 + 7.5
x = 12.6 pennies
hence, the average pennies for the first draw is equal to x = 12.6 pennies
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I=PRT/100
40=(500XRX2)/100
R=(40X100)/500X2
R=4000/1000
R=4 percent/annum
