Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing y+5=-3/4(x-8).

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Reggie, Alvin, and Jose are member of a relay running team. Reggie finished his leg of the race 2.45 seconds faster than Alvin a

lorasvet [3.4K]

From the given, we expressed the time that each of the team members ran in mathematical expression.

Reggie = 57.12 seconds
Alvin = 57.12 + 2.45 seconds = 59.57 seconds
Jose = 57.12 - 3.81 seconds = 53.31 seconds
We then sum up all the time we calculate to determine the total time for the team. The answer is therefore 170 seconds.
