It's actually (-9)... think of it as a hot air balloon, the positivies being balloons and the negatives being sandbags or weights.
You have 7 sandbags/weights and add 9 more sandbags/weights, causing u to go lower, therefore, *negative* 9
Hope that helped! :))
Answer:
The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee. The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation. A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change. For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost. In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5. So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50. To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'. So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b. or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.
Answer:
7.5 Quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
D'Naisa mixed the following:
- 1 gallon of orange paint
- 2 quarts of yellow paint
- 3 pints of red paint.
We are to determine in total, the number of quarts of paint that she mixed. this is done by converting each of the volume to quart.
<u>1 gallon of orange paint</u>
- 1 gallon = 4 Quarts
- Orange Paint=4 Quarts
<u>3 pints of red paint.</u>
- 1 pint =0.5 quart
- 3 Pints =3 X 0.5 Quart
- =1.5 Quart of red paint
Therefore,
Total Volume of Paint Mixed in quart= Volume of Orange+Yellow+Red
=4+2+1.5
=7.5 Quarts
No there is not. 50 divided by 1 2/3 gives you 30 which means it can’t create 35 servings.
You can take the first point as the origin O(0,0) and the second one (-2,0.5) for easier calculations.
Find the slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= -2-0 / -0.5-0 = 2/0.5 = 4
now take (x,y) = (0,0) and m= 4
use the point slope form
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
(y - 0) = (4)(x - 0) ......taking (x1,y1) = (0,0)
y = 4x + 0 ...... in the form of y = mx + b
I hope I was helpful:)
