Answer:

the y-intercept is (0,-6)

the x-intercept is (8,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for the y-intercept:

Since the equation 'y=3/4x - 6' is in the 'y=mx + c' form (where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept):

3/4 is m (which is the slope)

-6 is c (which is the y-intercept)

Solving for the x-intercept:

When the line intersects with the x-axis, the y-value is 0. Hence, the coordinate is (x,0). Substituting this into 'y=3/4x - 6':

0 = 3/4x - 6

3/4x - 6 + 6 = 6

3/4x = 6

x = 4/3 * 6

= 8

Hence,

the y-intercept is (0,-6)

the x-intercept is (8,0)

In the Hawaiian Beach Boy surf board vendor scenario, what if the fine was increased to $190 but the probability of a fine decre

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

$190.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value is the sum of each possible income multiplied by its probability.

There's a 5% chance that the vendor makes $200 and loses $190 (net gain of $10).

There's a 95% chance that the vendor makes $200 and loses $0 (net gain of $200).

So the expected value is:

Exp(RS) = $10 × 0.05 + $200 × 0.95

Exp(RS) = $190.50

I still don’t understand can someone give a helping hand?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B, C, and D, are all functions. the " { " is saying that those functions can are different at different points. For A the function is $A= -x-2$ when $x< 2$ and then $A=x+4$ when $x\geq -2$ . At the point $x=-2$ you can see that the function on the graph is going in two different directions but it stops at $x=-2$ .

Based on the graph you can see that the line on the left has a slope of -1 and if it kept going it would cross the y-axis at $y=-2$ , therefore the equation for the first line is $y =-x-2$ when $x$
