Graph y=6x−7 Identify the x-intercept.
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x-intercept: 7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept is found by solving for x when y=0.
0 = 6x -7
7 = 6x . . . . . add 7 to both sides of the equation
7/6 = x . . . . divide both sides by 6
The x-intercept is 7/6 = 1 1/6 ≈ 1.167.
__
The y-intercept is the constant in the given equation: -7. The slope of 6 tells you the line rises 6 units for 1 unit to the right. So, the point (1, -1) is another point on the graph. The line through those two points, (0, -7) and (1, -1), will intersect the x-axis at x=7/6.

Every angle bisector in a triangle bisects the opposite side perpendicularly.
A 'counterexample' would show an angle bisector in a triangle that DOESN'T
bisect the opposite side perpendicularly.
See my attached drawing of a counterexample.
Both of the triangles that Melanie examined have equal sides on both sides
of the angle bisector. That's the only way that the angle bisector can bisect
the opposite side perpendicularly. Melanie didn't examine enough different
triangles.
