No, Jonah is not correct. The answer is shown in the picture.
2 ways to find the y int.
(1) put the equation in y = mx + b form and the y int will be in the b position
7x - 3y = -5
-3y = -7x - 5
y = 7/3x + 5/3....so 5/3 is ur y int
(2) another way is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y
7(0) - 3y = -5
-3y = -5
y = -5/-3
y = 5/3...ur y int
-4 is greater look at number line
BE and CD are parallel, so the triangles ABE and ACD are similar. Then the following relation holds:
AE/AD = AB/AC
10/(10 + 8) = x/(x + 6)
Solve for x :
10 (x + 6) = x (10 + 8)
10x + 60 = 18x
8x = 60
x = 60/8 = 7/5
