5 0

The slope-intercept form of the linear function is y = m x + b , where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
Here we have: y = 3 x - 3
a ) When y = 0
0 = 3 x - 3
- 3 x = - 3
x = ( - 3 ) : ( - 3 )
x = 1
When x = 0
y = 3 * 0 - 3
y = - 3
So x - intercept is ( 1, 0 ) and y-intercept is ( 0, - 3 ).
b ) The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1 ) =
= ( - 3 - 3 ) / ( 5- 7 ) = ( - 6 ) /( - 2 ) = 6 / 2 = 3
Answer: The slope m = 3 .

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

x is less than or equal to -2

This means anything equal to or less than -2 is the solution to the ORIGINAL equation. Based on the solution set the answer is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+8 is greater than or equal to 14

-8 -8

-3x is greater than or equal to 6

-3x/-3 6/-3

*THIS WILL CAUSE US TO FLIP THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL AS WE DIVIDED BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER

x is less than or equal to -2

This means anything equal to or less than -2 is the solution to the ORIGINAL equation

Based on the solution set the answer is -3

Erica is participating in a road race. The first part of the race is on a 5.2-mile-long straight road-oriented at an angle of 25

Answer:

6.31 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram below explains the solution better.

From the diagram,

C = starting point of the race.

A = end of the first part of the race.

B = end of the race.

Using Cosine rule, we can find the straight-line distance between the starting point and the end of the race.

Cosine rule states that:

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc[cos(A)]$

where A = angle A = <A

Given that

b = 5.2 miles

c = 2.0 miles

<A = 115° (from the diagram)

Hence,

$a^2 = 5.2^2 + 2.0^2 - 2*5.2*2.0[cos(115)]\\\\a^2 = 27.04 + 4 - 20.8[cos(115)]\\\\a^2 = 31.04 + 8.79\\\\a^2 = 39.83\\\\a = \sqrt{39.83}\\ \\a = 6.31 mi$
