Find the x-intercept of the line 3x - 9y = 15.

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The x-intercept is 5.

Some people prefer you right it as a point (5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept can be found by setting y=0 and solving for x.

Just like to find the y-intercept you can set x=0 and solve for y.

Let's find the x-intercept.

So we will set y=0 and solve for x:

3x-9y=15

3x-9(0)=15

3x-0    =15

3x        =15

Divide both sides by 3:

 x         =15/3

 x          =5

So the x-intercept is (5,0).

If x/y = -3, then find x²/y² + y²/x² <br><br>​
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

x/y= −3 => x= −3y

x²/y²+y²/x²=y²/x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate xy, then set it equal to −3.

x=−3y

Evaluate x²/y²+y²/x².

y²/x²

The following set of ordered pairs represents a power inverse variation. Find the value of r given that k = 5.
pochemuha

Answer:

r=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = k x^r  is the formula for a direct variation

y = k x^ -r is the formula for a indirect variation

20= 5 (1/2)^ -r

Divide each side by 5

4 = (1/2) ^ -r

Rewriting

2^2 = 2^ -1 ^ -r

2^2 = 2 ^ r

The bases are the same so

2 =r

HELP!! Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Togeth
joja [24]

Answer:

  • first mechanic: $105/hour
  • second mechanic: $55/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the rate charged by the first mechanic. Then 160-r is the rate charged by the second mechanic. The total of charges is ...

  20r +5(160-r) = 2375

  15r +800 = 2375 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  15r = 1575 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 800

  r = 105 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15. First mechanic's rate.

  160-r = 55 . . . . . Second mechanic's rate

The first mechanic charged $105 per hour; the second, $55 per hour.

The measure of an angle is 6°. What is the measure of its complementary angle?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

84 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define what a complementary angle is. It's when two angles add up to 90 degrees. So we do 90-6=84 and 84+6 does in fact equal 90, so they are complementary.
