Answer:

x-intercept ⇨ -1/3

y-intercept ⇨ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

⟺ Finding the x-intercept, substitute y = 0

$y=3x+1\\0=3x+1\\3x+1=0\\$

Move 1 to subtract the another side.

$3x=-1$

Then move 3 to divide -1, leaving only x as a subject since we want to find the x-intercept.

$x=-\frac{1}{3}$ #

⟺ Finding the y-intercept, substitute x = 0

$y=3x+1\\y=3(0)+1\\y=0+1$

$y=1$ #

Tips:

Here's the tips about finding the intercepts of the graph.

⟺ For x-intercept, It's like solving an equation to find the x-term.

⟺ For y-intercept, It's like using the constant to answer.

As for y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

For a linear function, It's not necessary to substitute x = 0 just to find y-intercept as we can answer the constant as our y-intercept.

Hank invested a total of $20,000, part at 7% and part at 10%. How much did he invest at each rate if the total interest earned i

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The amount invested at 7% is $12,000 while the amount invested at 10% is $8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The total amount Hank invested = $20,000

The interest earned in one year = $1640

Hank invested part of the $20,000 at 7% interest and part of the $20,000 at 10%

Let the part invested at 7% = X and the part invested at 10% = Y, we have;

7% of X + 10% of Y = $1640 which gives;

0.07×X + 0.1×Y = $1640.....................(1)

X + Y = $20,000.................................(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 10 and subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to get;

X + Y - 10×(0.07×X + 0.1×Y) = $20,000 - 10×$1640

X - 0.7·X - Y - Y = $20,000 - $16,400 = $3,600

0.3·X = $3,600

X = $3,600/0.3 = $12,000

X = $12,000

Y = $20,000 - X = $20,000 - $12,000 = $8,000

Y = $8,000

Therefore, the amount invested at 7% = $12,000 and the amount invested at 10% = $8,000.

Although not so common now, consider a phone plan that does not have unlimited texting. Your base plan costs you $30 a month and

german

Answer:

The bill will be $26070.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your base plan costs you $30 a month

And each text sent or received is only 12 cents or $0.12.

Let the messages sent be = x

So, cost for messages become = $0.12x$

Let total bill cost be = y

Now, total bill will comprise of monthly plan charges plus message charges.

So, equation forms:

$y=30+0.12x$

Now, given is that In one month 217,000 messages were sent between two brothers in Philadelphia.

So, their approximate bill will be :

$y=30+0.12(217000)$

=> $y=30+26040$

=> y = 26070

Therefore, bill will be $26070.

vfiekz [6]

we are given

In a particularly sunny month, Solaire's solar panels generated 110 percent as much power as expected.

so, we need to change percent into fraction to get our value

we can write

110%= $\frac{110}{100}$

now, we can simplify it

and we get

110%= $\frac{11}{10}$

so,

Solaire's solar panels generate $\frac{11}{10}$ of the expected amount of power.............Answer
