Answer: The y- intercept is -2. The x-intercept is 2/3
The attachment shows the solutions.
Step-by-step explanation: The y-intercept is the "b" term in the slope-intercept form of the equation. To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for the output and solve for x.
0 = 3x -2 . Add 2 to both sides
2 = 3x . Divide both sides by 3
2/3 = x the x-intercept is 2/3
To find f(-5) substitute -5 for x and solve.
f(-5) = 3(-5) -2
f(-5) = -15 -2
f(-5) = -17
Answer:
13 is the number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Twice the difference of a number and 9 equals 8.
Let the unknown number be 'x'.
Therefore, as per question:
The difference of 'x' and 9 =
Twice the difference means 2 times the difference. So, we multiply 2 to the difference. Therefore,
Now, the above expression is equal to 8. So, we equate the above expression to 8. This gives,
Solving for 'x', we get:
Using distributive property of addition and distributing 2 inside the bracket. This gives,
Therefore, the unknown number is 13.
Now, we can verify our answer.
Therefore, the answer is correct.
