The y-intercept is 0 because you can add it to the equation and it won't change your slope.
Answer:
a. Total field goal points scored in the first two quarters, in simplest linear expression form is: 3x - 4.
b. The total points scored in the game, in simplest linear expression form is: 6x - 1.
a. The goal points scored in the first two quarters are expressed in linear forms as: 2x - 6 and x + 2.
The total field goal points in the first two quarters = 2x - 6 + x + 2
Add like terms
3x - 4
b. The total points scored in the game = 2x - 6 + x + 2 + 2x + x - 6 + 9
Add like terms and simplify the expression
2x - 6 + x + 2 + 2x + x - 6 + 9
6x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator in each term of the series is a square number, but neither

nor

are squares. So none of (1), (2), and (4) can be correct. The answer must be (3).
