Answer:

O It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = 3/8

b = 12

y = (3/8)x + 12

---

Data in the table:  slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between two points (assuming the data represent a linear line).

 Change in x and y between two points.  I'll choose (-2/3,-3/4) and (1/3,-3/8).

Change in y:  (-3/8 - (-3/4)) = (-3/8 - (-6/8))  =  3/8

Change in x:  (1/3 - (-2/3)) = (1/3+2/3) = 3/3 = 1

Slope = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = (3/8)/1 = 3/8

The slope of the equation is the same as the data in the table.

Now let's determine if the y-intercept is also the same (12).  The equation for the data table is y = (2/3)x + b, and we want to find b.  Enter any of the data points for x and y and then solve for b.  I'll use (-2/3, -3/4)

y = (3/8)x + b

Use (-2/3, -3/4)

-3/4 =- (3/8)(-2/3) + b

-3/4 = (-6/24) + b

b = -(3/4) + (6/24)

b = -(9/12) + (3/12)

b = -(6/12)

b = -(1/2)

The equation of the line formed by the data table is y = (3/8)x -(1/2)

Therefore, It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The Cost Price will be $19.99

Step-by-step explanation:

James

Sale Price = (100 - Discount Rate) x Cost Price

Let Y = Cost Price

By Putting the values in above equation:

$16.99 = (100 - 15) x Y

$16.99 = 0.85Y

Dividing the equation by 0.85, we get

Y = $16.99 / 0.85

Y = $19.99

Weiming receives a weekly pocket money of $28. If he decides to save 20% of it, find his saving in a year and spendings in a yea
Maru [420]

Welming's spending is $1164.8 and his savings is $291.2

<h3>How to determine the savings and the spending?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Weekly pocket = $28

Save = 20%

There are 52 weeks in a year.

So, the yearly pocket is:

Yearly pocket = $28 * 52

Evaluate

Yearly pocket = $1456

He saves 20%.

So, we have:

Savings = 20% * $1456

Evaluate

Savings = $291.2

His spending is then calculated as:

Spending = $1456 - $291.2

Evaluate

Spending = $1164.8

Hence, Welming's spending is $1164.8 and his savings is $291.2

Adjust the equation so the line passes through the points. Y=x+1
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Slope=  

2.000

​  

=1.000

x−intercept=  

−1

​  

=−1.00000

y−intercept=

​  

=1.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    y-(x+1)=0

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1     Solve   y-x-1  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  y-x-1  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 1/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 1.00000

 y-intercept = 1/1  =  1.00000  

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 1/-1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-1.00000

 x-intercept = 1/-1  = -1.00000  

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 1.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 3.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 3.000 - 1.000 = 2.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  2.000/2.000 =  1.000  

Geometric figure: Straight Line

1.  Slope = 2.000/2.000 = 1.000

2. x-intercept = 1/-1 = -1.00000

3.  y-intercept = 1/1 = 1.00000

The cube root of the difference of a number and 2
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The difference of two cubes is equal to the difference of their cube roots times a trinomial, which contains the squares of the cube roots and the opposite of the product of the cube roots. A number's opposite is that same number with a different sign in front.
