In step 1 the y-intercept should be plotted at (0,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that to find the Y intercept in any linear equation you need to use 0 as your X value, this means taking the formula in the y=mx+b form and replacing X with a 0.
Since the formula is y = -3/4x -6
We just insert a 0 insted of the "x"
y = -3/4(0) -6
y=0-6
y=6
So the y-intercept sould be placed in (0,-6)
That's what he did wrong when graphing the equation.

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

b=6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite number of solutions?

y = 6x – b

–3x + 1/2y = –3

we have

y=6x-b ----->equation A

-3x+\frac{1}{2}y=-3 -----> equation B

we know that

If the system has infinite number of solutions then, the equation A must be equal to the equation B

so

isolate variable y in the equation B

-3x+\frac{1}{2}y=-3

Multiply by 2 both sides

-6x+y=-6

y=6x-6 -------> new equation B

To find out the value of b, equate equation A and equation B

6x-b=6x-6

b=6

The sum of 4 consecutive numbers is equal to the sum of the next 3 consecutive numbers. Find the largest number.​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The answer is: The largest number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = (n + 4) + (n + 5) + (n + 6)

4n + 6 = 3n + 15

n = 9

Proof:

9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 19 + 23 = 42

13 + 14 + 15 = 27 + 15 = 42

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)
