Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis). To solve this question, first, find the slope, then, plug one of the given points into the equation to isolate b.

<u>1) Find the slope (m)</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where the given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (0,-2) and (3,0)

m=\frac{0-(-2)}{3-0}\\m=\frac{0+2}{3}\\m=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore, the slope of of the line is \frac{2}{3}. Plug this into  y=mx+b as m:

y=\frac{2}{3} x+b

<u>2) Find the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=\frac{2}{3} x+b

Plug in one of the given points: (0,-2) or (3,0)

0=\frac{2}{3} (3)+b\\0=2+b\\b=-2

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line AB is -2.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

The y-intercept of points A and B is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is the y-intercept. You can tell by looking at the x and seeing that it is 0. This means the point is the y-intercept.

Hope this helps!

Please help!!!!! Pre algebra (8th grade math) 2 questions double the points!!! At least help me with one;( Very easy but I’m not
dusya [7]

Answer:

11.)

We can let the scores we don't know by x, and we know that tokay had 14 more points than Lodi. This can be shown as the following:

x + (x+14) = 162

2x+14=162

162-14= 148

148/2 = 74

Therefore Lodi scored 74 points.

12.)

We can substitute the prices we don't know by x and have the following:

4x+x=6.50

5x=6.50

6.50/5= 1.3

4x1.3= 5.2

Therefore the sandwich cost $5.20 and the drink costs $1.30

By what number should I multiply 1 1/4 by to obtain 3/4(fractions)
Reptile [31]
1 1/4x = 3/4
5/4x = 3/4
x = (3/4) / (5/4)
x = 3/4 * 4/5
x = 12/20 which reduces to 3/5

check..
1 1/4 * 3/5 =
5/4 * 3/5 =
15/20 reduces to 3/4 

so u would multiply 1 1/4 by 3/5 to get 3/4
