The intercepts and the graph on your worksheet are not correct. Please see below for details:
has solutions at x=-1 and x=3 (use the quadratic formula to solve). That means these are the x-intercepts, namely points:
(-1,0) and (3,0).
The y-intercept comes from setting x=0 and calculating the y value:

so the y-intercept is (0,-3).
Now to the graph: Based on the form of the function we can see this is a quadratic function and its graph will be a parabola. You can reformat the expression in the following form

and that will indicate that the apex of the parabola (open up) will be at the point (1,-4).
Knowing the apex, the x intercepts, and the y intercept, we can graph it now.
Graph is in the image attached.
The answer is 10
This is because both points have the same x value, which is 2, which means the distance between them is a straight line. That means that we can simply find the distance between the y values, and -4 to 0 is 4 units, and 0 to 6 is 6 units, so 4 + 6 = 10.
I hope this helps!
3/2x + 1/5 >= -1
3/2x >= - 6/5
x >= -12/15
x >= -4/5
-1/2x - 7/3 >= 5
-1/2x >= 22/3
x <= -44/3
Its D
D. independent -- Number of Months
dependent -- Total Cost
The dependent Variable depends on the independent variable so, as the number of months change, the total cost changes.
