What is y-intercept of the graph
1 answer:
Answer:
1a. y-intercept: 12
1b. slope: -3/2
1c. equation: y = -3/2x +12
2a. y-intercept: -9
2b. slope: 2
2c. equation: y = 2x -9
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>1.</h3>A) We observe the pattern to be <em>x-values in the table increase by 2, while y-values in the table decrease by 3</em>. We notice the first x-value is 2, so extending the table upward to x=0 would tell us the y-intercept. That is, adding 3 to the first y-value will give the y-intercept as (x, y) = (0, 12).
B) We have already observed that the "rise" (change in y) is -3 for each "run" (change in x) of 2. The slope is the ratio of these changes:
slope = m = rise/run = -3/2
C) From the above, we know that m=-3/2 and b=12. Putting these values into the equation for the line gives ...
y = -3/2x +12

<h3>2.</h3>A) We observe the pattern to be <em>y-values increase by 2 while x-values increase by 1</em>. As before, we can find the point that would go before the first one shown in the table. It will have an x-value of 0 and a y-value of -9.
the y-intercept is -9
the slope is 2/1 = 2
the equation is y = 2x -9

Answer:
D. 8/2 +(-10)² = 104
Step-by-step explanation:
To find which statements are true, evaluate the expression for the given variable values. You do this by putting the numbers in place of the respective variables, then doing the arithmetic.
The respective expression values are ...
A 83 ≠ 37 . . . . (4/2) +9² = 2 +81 = 83
B 31 ≠ 61
C 52 ≠ 61
D 104 =104 . . . . true statement

I find it less tedious to write a function into a calculator or spreadsheet and let it do the repetitive math. Examples of the calculation are shown above.
