Answer:

Option D: y-intercept is the volume of water in the tank before the faucet is turned on.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the volume of water in a tank is modeled by the function:

y = 1.15x³ – 0.1x² + 2

where:

x is the number of minutes after the faucet filling the tank is turned on

Now, the y-intercept is usually at the point where x = 0.

Thus, if x = 0 minutes, it means the faucet filling the tank is not yet turned on since x is the number of minutes after the faucet is turned on.

Thus, y-intercept is the volume of water in the tank before the faucet is turned on.

Is 3/16 equivalent to 3/8? How do you know?
Ymorist [56]

Answer: 3/16 is not equivalent to 3/8

Step-by-step explanation: 3/16 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 16 pieces whilst 3/8 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 8 pieces. They are mildly similar but 3/16 is twice as small as 3/8 and henceforth not equivalent.

Slope intercept form? A line passes through the point (10,4) and has a slope of -1 over 2 .
Law Incorporation [45]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope m=-\dfrac{1}{2} and the point (10, 4).

Substitute the value of slope and the coordinates to the equation of line:

y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+b\\\\4=-\dfrac{1}{2}(10)+b\\\\4=-5+b\qquad|\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\9=b\to b=9

Answer: y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+9
