Answer:

(0, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of a graph is where the graph of the function intersects the y-axis. This means that the x-coordinate of the point is zero. To find the y-intercept of a line, when given the equation of the line, substitute (0) in for (x) and solve the equation,

y = x - 5

x = 0

y = 0 - 5

y = -5

This gives the resulting point of (0, -5) for the y-intercept of the line.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The container is filled to 87.5% of the maximum capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Maximum capacity of container = m = 64 ounces

Filled capacity=> as it is 8 less than maximum capacity = 64-8 = 56 ounces

The container is 56 ounces full.

To find the percentage:

$percentage = \frac{56}{64}*100\\= 0.875*100\\=87.5\%$

Hence,

The container is filled to 87.5% of the maximum capacity.

Tickets for a certain show cost $17, $21, or, for VIP seats, $40. If ten times as many $17 tickets were sold as VIP tic

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Tickets sold:

VIP $=126$

$17 tickets $=1,260$

$21 tickets $=9\cdot 126+57=1,191$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of VIP tickets.

If ten times as many $17 tickets were sold as VIP tickets, then the number of $17 tickets is $10x.$

If the number of $17 tickets sold was 57 more than the sum of the number of $21 tickets and VIP tickets, then $10x+57=x+y$ and the number y of $21 tickets is $9x+57.$
