Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we need to <u>find the y-intercept</u>, we should find the equation of the line in <u>slope-intercept form</u> (y = mx + b).

"x" and "y" represent a point on the line.

"m" represents the slope (how steep the line is).

<u>"b" represents the y-intercept</u> (where the line hits the y-axis).

Given the two coordinates on the line, <u>use the formula to find slope</u>:  m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Choose which point will be point 1 and point 2. Remember points are written (x, y).

Point 1 (-4, -4)    x₁ = -4   y₁ = -4

Point 2 (4, 8)     x₂ = 4    y₂ = 8

Substitute the information from the coordinates into the slope formula.

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m = \frac{8-(-4)}{4-(-4)}     Simplify the numerator and denominator

m = \frac{12}{8}     Reduce the fraction. Top and bottom can divide by 4.

m = \frac{3}{2}     Slope of the line, m = 3/2

Since we know at least one point on the line and the slope, we only have one missing piece of information in the equation y = mx + b.

<u>Substitute a random point</u> (4,8) <u>and the slope</u> (3/2) into the equation. Then <u>isolate "b" to find the y-intercept</u>.

y = mx + b

8 = (\frac{3}{2})(4) + b     Multiply 3/2 and 4 by combining into the numerator

8 = \frac{3*4}{2} + b     Simplify the fraction. 12/2 = 6

8 = 6 + b     Isolate "b"

8 - 6 = b     Subtract 6 from both sides

b = 2     Write variable on left side for standard formatting.

Therefore the y-coordinate for the y-intercept of the line is 2.

If you see the slope intercept form that’s the y coordinate

-4(2-5b)=132<br> whats b?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

- 4(2 - 5b) = 132

- 4 × 2 - 4 × (- 5b) = 132

-8 + 20b = 132

20b = 132 + 8

20b = 140

b = 140/20

b = 7

Thus, The value of b is 7

Determine the area of the green sector. A) 5 4 π in2 B) 57 8 π in2 C) 19 4 π in2 D) 19 24 π in2
Alex_Xolod [135]
the complete question in the attached figure

we know that
r=3 in
A=π*r²

the area of ​​the complete circle-------> π*3²=9π in²
the green sector=360°-75°=285°
if 9π in²--------------------------> corresponds a 360°
  X---------------------------------> 285°
X=285*9π/360=(285/40)*π---> [(3*5*19)/(8.5)]*π=[(3*19)/(8)]*π=(57/8)*π in²

the answer is (57/8)*π in²  (the option B)
