Answer:

(0, -12)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the y-intercept of the equation y = mx + b ( where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept), we first have to find the slope. We can do this by using the two points given to us.

To find the slope:

The slope is equal to: $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Let's plug (5,8) and (12,36) into the equation:

$\frac{36 - 8}{12 - 5}$

Now let's solve for the slope:

36 -8 = 28

12 - 5 = 7

So we get: $\frac{28}{7}$

Now that we've found the value of the slope, we can put it into the equation:

y = $\frac{28}{7}$ x + b

To find the value of b, we can input the values of one of the given points into the equation and solve for b. Let's use (5,8):

Input the values of x and y into the equation: 8 = $\frac{28}{7}$ (5) + b

Multiple $\frac{28}{7}$ by 5: 8 = $\frac{140}{7}$ + b

Divide 140 by 7: 8 = 20 + b

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation to isolate b:

8 - 20 = 20 - 20 + b

-12 = b

The y-intercept is (0, -12).

Answer:

The y intercept is (0,-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the slope formula and the slope-intercept form to find the slope m and then the y intercept b.

Write a function to represent each problem situation Carmen deposits $1000into simple interest account.The rate for the account

kolezko [41]

The function the represent the balance in the account as a function of time t is p(t) = 1000 + 40t

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

Carmen deposits $1000 into simple interest account

The rate for the account is 4%

To find: function the represent the balance in the account as a function of time t

Given is simple interest account

The formula for simple interest is given as:

$S.I = \frac{ prt}{100}$

Where, "p" is the principal and "r" is the rate of interest and "t" is the number of years

In simple interest,

total amount after "t" years = principal + simple interest

Here in this question, Carmen deposits $1000

$p_0 = 1000$

$r = 4 \% = \frac{4}{100} = 0.04$

Thus we can frame a function as:

total amount after "t" years = principal + simple interest

$p(t) = p_0 + (p_0 \times r \times t )$

$p(t) = 1000 + (1000 \times 0.04)t\\\\p(t) = 1000 + 40t$

Where, p(t) is the amount after "t" years and $p_0$ is the principal sum

Thus the function is obtained

If the sum of two numbers is 15 and their product is 50 what are they

Westkost [7]

Xy = 50
x + y = 15

x = 15 - y

xy = 50

(5 - y)y = 50

5y - y^2 = 50

y^2 - 5y + 50 = 0

(y - 5)(y - 10) = 0

y - 5 = 0 or y - 10 = 0

y = 5 or y = 10

x + y = 15

For y = 5:

x + 5 = 15

x = 10

For y = 10

x + 10 = 15

x = 5

Answer: the numbers are 5 and 10.
