If <span>y = –4x – 7, the x-intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x:
</span><span>0 = –4x – 7 => 4x = -7, or x = -7/4 The x-intercept is (-7/4, 0).
</span><span>The y-intercept is found by setting x = 0 and reading off the value of y:
y = –4x – 7 => y = 0 - 7, or y = -7. The y-intercept is (0, -7).</span>
160 is 100% of 160, 480 is 4 times that. So 400%
Ok so lets work our way up to see when the price will be the same so..luguna charges $20 plus $2 per mile and Salvatore cost 3 per mile so..
20+2=22+2=24+2=26+2=28+2=30+2=32+2=34+2=36+2=38+2=40+2=42+2=44+2=46+2=48+2=50+2=52+2=54+2
3+3=6+3=9+3=12+3=15+3=18+3=21+3=24+3=27+3=30+3=33+3+36+3=39+3=42+3=45+3+48+3=51+3=54 so it would take 18 miles hope this helped
When solving equilibrium problems a quadratic results it has the general form 0 equals x ^ 2 + BX + C a b and c may be positive or negative numbers usually when the wrong answer is plugged in it will lead to a negative concentration or amount. good luck
