Answer:
It should be 4 or (0,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is just where one of the lines of the graph crosses the y-axis, which in the picture shows it crosses at (0,4)
(3,52)(7,108)
slope = (108 - 52) / (7 - 3) = 56/4 = 14
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 14
(3,52)...x = 3 and y = 52
sub and find b, the y int (the original amount of cards)
52 = 3(14) + b
52 = 42 + b
52 - 42 = b
10 = b
so ur equation is y = 14x + 10....with x being the number of years and y being the total cards. <== ur equation is y = 14x + 10
He started with 10 cards....and has been adding 14 cards every year.
so after 10 years...
y = 14(10) + 10
y = 140 + 10
y = 150 <== after 10 years, he will have 150 cards
Sorry that is not a linear model. There is not a constant rate of change. Are you sure you copied it correctly
7x - 1 = 5x - 8
Minus 5x on each side
2x -1 = -8
Plus 1 on each side
2x = -7
Divide by 2 on each side
x = -7/2
The number is most likely -7/2
