Find the x-intercept and

Answer:

  x-intercept: (16, 0)

  y-intercept: (0, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each intercept is found by setting the other variable to zero and solving for the variable of interest.

I like to find the intercepts from this form because it basically involves dividing the constant by the variable coefficient.

<u>x-intercept</u>

  y = 0, so we have 4x = 64   ⇒   x = 64/4 = 16

  x-intercept is (16, 0)

<u>y-intercept</u>

  x = 0, so we have 8y = 64   ⇒   y = 64/8 = 8

  y-intercept is (0, 8)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There is a form of the linear equation called the "intercept form" that looks like this:

  x/a +y/b = 1

where 'a' is the x-intercept and 'b' is the y-intercept.

You can get this form by dividing the standard form equation by the constant. Here, that gives ...

  4x/64 +8y/64 = 1

  x/16 +y/8 = 1

This is nice because it gives both intercepts with one operation (divide by the constant). It's easy enough to do, but not always easy to explain. This form of the equation of a line is rarely seen.

Answer:

b. 28x + 8y +2

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to distribute the -2 to all the numbers inside parentheses and then combine like terms.

-2*3x= -6x

-2*12y= -24y

-2*-5= 10 (remember neg times neg = pos)

-2*17= 34x

-2*-16y=32y

-2*4= -8

Now combine like terms

34x-6x= 28x

32y-24y=8y

10-8=2

Write the expression:  28x + 8y +2

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):
Aneli [31]
Slope of f(x)


Slope of g(x)


PART A)
The slopes of f(x) and g(x) are the same.

PART B)
The equation for line f(x)
y = 4x + b
-1 = 4(0) + b
-1 = b

y = 4x - 1

The function G(x) has a bigger y-intercept. The y-intercept of g(x) is 3, while the y-intercept of f(x) is -1.
