x- intercept = 5/2

y - intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the intercepts of a line are found by plugging in x=0 and y = 0

For x-intercept, we put y = 0

and

For- y-intercept we put =0

Given equation is:

$-4x + 7 = 2y - 3\\Putting\ y = 0\\-4x + 7 = 2(0) - 3\\-4x+7 = -3\\-4x = -3-7\\-4x = -10$

Dividing both sides by -4

$\frac{-4x}{-4} = \frac{-10}{-4}\\ = \frac{5}{2}$

Putting x = 0

$-4x + 7 = 2y - 3\\-4(0)+7 = 2y -3\\7 = 2y-3\\7+3 = 2y\\2y = 10$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{10}{2}\\y = 5$

So,

x- intercept = 5/2

y - intercept = 5

An angle t is drawn from the center of the unit circle. Find a formula in terms of t for the straight line distance d between th

Doss [256]

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt {1-\cos t - \sin t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that one of the radii meets the circle at the point (1,0). The straight line distance formula is:

$d = \sqrt{(\cos t - 1)^{2}+(\sin t - 1)^{2}}$

$d = \sqrt{(\cos^{2}t - 2\cdot \cos t + 1)+(\sin^{2}t - 2\cdot \sin t + 1)}$

$d = \sqrt{2-2\cdot (\cos t + \sin t )}$

$d = \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt {1-\cos t - \sin t}$

Please help me!!!!!!!!!!

9.2 x 13.8 = 126.96, now usually to get the area of a triangle we would half this but because we have two of the same triangle we would then have to double it again so they cancel each other out. We then do 6.9 x 9.2 which equals 63.48 and again we have two of the same triangle so no need to half it. So we add the two totals of 126.96 and 63.48 together to get 190.44.

Explain how knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum for7+1

ss7ja [257]

1+7 and 7+1 are the same equations. The numbers are just switched around .
Example:
1+2=3
2+1+3

<span>They add up to the same answer no matter where they are placed, therefore knowing 1+7 helps you find the sum of 7+1 (again, because they are the same) </span>
