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.

Answer

a) PQ = 50

b) PC = 18

PY = 27

c) ZC = 6

ZQ = 18

Explanation

Centroid is a point inside a triangle where all lines drawn from each vertex to the midpoints of opposite side intersect.

Part a

X is the midpoint of PQ. SoPX = XQ.

If PX = 25,

then PQ = 2PX

PQ = 2×25

PQ = 50

Part b

The centroid is alway two thirds away from the vertex.

Also PC = twice CY

PC = 2×9

PC = 18

So, if CY = 9, then PY = 3 × 9

PY = 27

Part c

(i) The centroid is alway two thirds away from the vertex.

If ZC = 12, then CZ =(1/2)QZ

CZ = (1/2) × 12

CZ = 6

(ii) The centroid is alway two thirds away from the vertex.

So, if CZ = 6, then QZ =3 CZ

QZ = 3×6

QZ = 18

How many weeks are in 5 years
Gnoma [55]
- -- There are 260.714 weeks total in 5 years.

But you can round by doing this:

52*5=260

This is because you have 52 weeks in a year and 55 years so you multiply.

0.4x - 0.3 = -0.14<br>Need help, rush not needed
never [62]
This is a two step equation. What we want to do is get x by itself.

We will add .3 to both sides:
0.4x=-0.11

We will now divide both sides by .4

X=-0.275
