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!

In a​ triangle, the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. the measure of the third angle is 80 de
Furkat [3]
1st angle = 2 * 2nd angle
3rd angle = 2nd angle + 80

1st angle = 2x 

2nd angle  = x
3rd angle = 80 + x


2x + x + 80 + x = 180
4x = 100
x = 25

1st angle = 50
2nd angle = 25
3rd angle = 105

Answer:

Length of arc = 5 cm (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius of circle = 20 cm

Angle = 1/4 radian

Find:

Length of arc

Computation:

Angle in degree = 1/4 radian × 180°π

Angle in degree = 1/4 × 180°  / 22/7

Angle in degree = 14.31° Approx

Length of arc = (Ф / 360)2πr

Length of arc = (14.31 /360)2(22/7)(20)

Length of arc = 4.997 cm

Length of arc = 5 cm (Approx)

How are sides RS and RT related to each other?
Svetach [21]

Answer: Angle T is larger than angle S. So by the side opposite to angle to (side RS) is longer than the side opposite to angle S (side RT). Therefore, side RS is longer than side RT.
