Explain how to determine the x- and y- intercepts of a line from a given equation in y = mx + b form.

Mathematics
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept:  Set y = 0 and solve for x:

 0 = mx + b, or mx = -b, or x = -b/m.  x-intercept is then (-b/m, 0)

y-intercept:  Set x = 0 and solve for y:  y = m(0) + b, or y = b.  y-intercept is then

 (0, b).

Please can someone help me with my maths? I’m so confused
Blababa [14]
The y intercept is 0.5 because thats where the line starts.
the slope/gradient of the line is 1.5.
this would be written in the form: y=1.5x+0.5

What is negative 7 minus negative 2
zalisa [80]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 - (-2)

-7 + 2

Example: If you owe someone $7, and you give them $2, how much do you still owe? You are owing him $7 so it's a negative and you give him $2 which is a negative as well since you are giving it to him. So, to answer how much do you still owe, you would add $2  to the $7 you owed, so now, you owe him $5, which is a negative since you OWE him.

Hope this helps:)

The formula for the volume of a cone is V=1/3 pi r2h the radius r of the cone may be expressed as
Naily [24]

r = √(3V/πh)

multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction

πr²h = 3V ( divide both sides by πh )

r² = 3V/ πh ( take the square root of both sides )

r = √(3V/πh)
