Find the x- and y-intercepts of the following line: 4x − 3y = 12

Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago

Answer:

x-intercept: (3,0)

y-intercept: (0,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x and y-intercepts, we first need to understand what they are. X and y-intercepts are points on the line that passes through the x-axis and y-axis. When a point is an x-intercept, it passes through the x-axis. This means the x-coordinate is an integer, while the y-coordinate is always 0. This can be denoted by (x,0). When a point is a y-intercept, it passes through the y-axis. This means the y-coordinate is an integer, while the x-coordinate is always 0. This can be denoted by (0,y).

Now that we know what x and y-intercepts are, we can plug in x=0 and y=0 to find the intercepts.

x-intercept

4x-3y=12            [plug in y=0]

4x-3(0)=12          [multiply]

4x-0=12              [add both sides by 0]

4x=12                 [divide both sides by 4]

x=3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

y-intercept

4x-3y=12            [plug in x=0]

4(0)-3y=12         [multiply]

0-3y=12             [subtract both sides by 0]

-3y=12               [divide both sides by -3]

y=-4

Therefore, the x-intercept is (3,0) and y-intercept is (0,-4).

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: a)  79.10 %           b) 7%                c)19.85 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Z = ( × - μ ) ÷ σ           Where  μ mean of population σ standard               deviation Z is the abscissa to give the area or probability we are looking for associated to the value 10 ounces ( × )

So:  Z = ( 10 - 9 ) ÷ 1.2  ⇒ Z = 1/1.2 ⇒   Z = 0.83  it has to be below this value

From Z tables we get  P [ Z ≤ 0.82 ] = 0.7910  0r  79.10 %

b) Following the same procedure: We look for

P [ Z > ( x - μ ) ÷   σ ]    ⇒   Z  =  ( 12 -10 ) ÷ 1.2  = 2.5

From Z table we get the area under the curve from the left tail up to the point Z < 2.5 ( 2.5 not included) but we were asked for the area out of that previous so 1- 0.9930 = 0.007 is the area we are looking for

So P (b) = 0.007  or 7 %

Finally between the two points above mentioned ( 10 ≤  Z  ≤ 12 ) we use the previous values (taking in consideration the limits, according to the problem statement )

Z ≤ 10     Z ⇒( 10-9  ) ÷ 1.2   Z = 0.7967

Z ≥ 12     Z ⇒ ( 12 - 9 ) ÷ 1.2  Z = 0.9952

The interval is between these two points

0.9952 - 0.7967 = 0.1985   ⇒ or 19.85 %

The attached help in the understanding of the solution
