Answer:
Part 1) x-intercept is -4;y-intercept is 8
Part 2) x-intercept is 16; y-intercept is 20
Part 3) [tex]x+6y=24[/tex]
Part 4)
Part a) [tex]4.75k+2.25p=22[/tex]
Part b) The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Find the x- and y-intercept of the line
we have
[tex]-10x+5y = 40[/tex]
we know that
The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero
so
For y=0
[tex]-10x+5(0) = 40[/tex]
[tex]-10x=40[/tex]
[tex]x=-4[/tex]
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
so
For x=0
[tex]-10(0)+5y = 40[/tex]
[tex]5y = 40[/tex]
[tex]y=8[/tex]
therefore
x-intercept is -4;y-intercept is 8
Part 2) Find the x- and y-intercept of the line
we have
[tex]5x+4y=80[/tex]
we know that
The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero
so
For y=0
[tex]5x+4(0)=80[/tex]
[tex]5x=80[/tex]
[tex]x=16[/tex]
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
so
For x=0
[tex]5(0)+4y=80[/tex]
[tex]4y=80[/tex]
[tex]y=20[/tex]
therefore
x-intercept is 16; y-intercept is 20
Part 3) Write y=-(1/6)x+4 in standard form using integers.
we know that
The equation of a line in standard form is equal to
[tex]Ax+By=C[/tex]
where
A is a positive integer
B and C are integers
we have
[tex]y=-\frac{1}{6}x+4[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 6 to remove the fraction
[tex]6y=-x+24[/tex]
Adds x both sides
[tex]x+6y=24[/tex]
Part 4) The grocery store sells kumquats for $4.75 a pound and Asian pears for $2.25 a pound.
Part a) Write an equation in standard form for the weights of kumquats k and Asian pears p that a customer could buy with $22
Part b) Graph the equation
Part a)
Let
k -----> the number of pounds of kumquats bought
p ----> the number of pounds of Asian pears bough
we know that
The number of pounds of kumquats bought (k) multiplied by it cost of $4.75 a pound plus the number of pounds of Asian pears bough (p) multiplied by it cost of $2.25 a pound must be equal to $22
so
[tex]4.75k+2.25p=22[/tex]
Part b) Graph the equation
To graph the line find out the intercepts
Let
k the first coordinate of the point
p the second coordinate of the point
The k-intercept is the value of k when the value of p is equal to zero
so
For p=0
[tex]4.75k+2.25(0)=22[/tex]
[tex]4.75k=22[/tex]
[tex]k=4.63[/tex]
so
The k-intercept is the point (4.63,0)
The p-intercept is the value of p when the value of k is equal to zero
so
For k=0
[tex]4.75(0)+2.25p=22[/tex]
[tex]2.25p=22[/tex]
[tex]p=9.78[/tex]
so
The k-intercept is the point (0,9.78)
using a graphing tool
Plot the intercepts and join the points to graph the line
see the attached figure
Remember that the weight cannot be a negative number
