Standard form is ax+by=c
normally a is positive and a and b are integres
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
y=1/2x+3
minus 1/2 x both sides
-1/2x+y=3
times -2
x-2y=-6
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0.
0 - 3y = -6
-3y = -6
y = 2
The y-intercept of the equation is the point (0, 2).
This is how I would work it out:
1st no. = x+1 2x+10=3(x+1)-7
2nd no. = x 2x+10=3x-4
x=14
1st no. is 15; 2nd no. is 14
To check: 28+10=38; three times the larger is 45; and 38 is 7 less than 45.
Answer: B
Because it does not pass through (0,0)
