Answer:
x: (-5.0)
y: (0, -17.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept of the line is when y=0. In the table is the point (-5,0). This is the x-intercept.
To find the y-intercept, find when x=0. Write an equation for the table in y=mx + b. Find the slope between two points first.
The slope is -3.5. So the equation is
y - 7 = -3.5(x--7)
y - 7 = -3.5 (x+7)
y - 7 = -3.5x - 24.5
y = 3.5x - 17.5
Since it is in y=mx+b, b= -17.5 and this is the y-intercept.
Answer:
2 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Luke bought 256 ounces of strawberries. He divided them evenly between 8 different pies. We are asked to find the pounds of strawberries that Luke put on each pie.
First of all, we will convert 256 ounces into pounds.
We know that 1 pound equals 16 ounces. To convert 256 ounces into pounds, we need to divide 256 by 16.
Now we will divide 16 pounds by 8 to find number of strawberries put on each pie.
Therefore, Luke put 2 pounds strawberries on each pie.
