Answer:

y = -1.667(x) + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form = (y = mx+b)

X = 6

Y = -2

Y-int = 8

Substitute the values

-2 = m(6) + 8

-10 = m(6)

-1.667 = m

What is the y-intercept of the liner function? (y=3x-2)

inysia [295]

The y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2

<h3>How to determine the y-intercept?</h3>

The function is given as

y = 3x - 2

The above function is a linear function, and the y-intercept is the point on the graph, where x = 0 i.e. the point (0, y)

As a general rule, linear functions are those functions that have constant rates or slopes

Next, we set x to 0, and calculate y to determine the value of the y-intercept

y = 3(0) - 2

Remove the bracket in the above equation

y = 3 * 0 - 2

Evaluate the product of 3 and 0 i.e. multiply 3 and 0

y = 0 - 2

Evaluate the difference of 0 and -2 i.e. subtract 0 from 2

y = -2

The above means that the value of y when x is 0 is -2

Hence, the y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2

How do you convert 3.16 (6 repeating) to a fraction?

lutik1710 [3]

Suppose $x=3.1\overline6$ . Then $10x=31.\overline6$ , and $100x=316.\overline6$ .

Now,

$100x-10x=316.\overline6-31.\overline6=316-31$

$\implies90x=285$

$\implies x=\dfrac{285}{90}=\boxed{\dfrac{19}6}$

What is the solution to the system? x + y = 4 x+y=1

Lelechka [254]

Given :

x + y = 4
x + y = 1

To Find :

The value of x and y.

Answer :

x + y = 4 ....[Equation (i)]
x + y = 1......[Equation (ii)]

Adding eqⁿ (ii) and eqⁿ (i) we get :

→ x + y + x - y = 4 + 1

→ 2x = 5

→ x = 5/2

→ x = 2.5

Now, put the value of x = 5/2 in eqⁿ (i) we get :

→ x + y = 4

→ 5/2 + y = 4

→ y = 4 - 5/2

→ y = 1.5
