Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
<h3>Given condition:</h3>x + y = 48 --------(1)
y = 7x -------------(2)
Put Eq. (2) in (1)
x + 7x = 48
8x = 48
Divide 8 to both sides
x = 48/8
<h3>x = 6</h3>Put x = 6 in Eq. (2)
y = 7 (6)
<h3>y = 42</h3>Answer:
a = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set x=0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept in each case.
first equation: y-intercept = -3/2
second equation: y-intercept = a
To make these equal, we must have ...
a = -3/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2y + 4 = 0 <em>subtract 4 from both sides</em>
2y = -4 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
y = -2
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
y = mx + b
m<em> - slope</em>
b<em> - y-intercept → (0, </em><em>b</em><em>)</em>
In the equation
y = -2
<em>slope: </em><em>m = 0</em>
<em>y-intercept: </em><em>b = -2 → (0, -2)</em>
<em />
<em>y = -2 - it's a horizontal line</em>
