The value of dollars, y, of a car x years after it was purchased can be modeled by the function y=14,000-875x

What is the meaning of the y-intercept of the linear model?

a) The initial value of the car is 14,000.
b) The average value of the car is 14,000.
c) The car’s value decreases by $875 each year after it was purchased.
d) The car’s value decreases by $16 each year after it was purchased.

Please help.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Option a) The initial value of the car is 14,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The linear equation into slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

Remember that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this problem we have

$y=14,000-875x$

The slope is equal to $m=-875(\$)/(year)$

The y-intercept is $b=\$14,000$

therefore

$\$14,000$ is the value of the car for x=0 (initial value)

How many inches are in 5 1/2 yards

Answers

How many inches are in 5 $(1)/(2) yards?$
There are 3 feet in a yard
There are 12 inches in a foot
$5 (1)/(2) = (11)/(2)$
You must multiply $(11)/(2)$ yards by feet
$(11)/(2)$ × $(3)/(1)$ = $(33)/(2)$
You must multiply $(33)/(2)$ by inches per foot
$(33)/(2)$ × $(12)/(1)$ = $(396)/(2)$
You must divide the numerator(top) by the denominator(bottom) to simplify
396÷2=198
There are 198 inches in $5 (1)/(2) yards$

On a road, a bike sign in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid is to be painted. The sign and its dimensions are shown below. What is the area of the sign? A right trapezoid is shown with a height labeled 6 feet and one of the bases labeled as 7 feet, and the other base is labeled as 5 feet.

30 square feet
36 square feet
48 square feet
54 square feet

Answers

Answer for question #2). The answer is: [B]: " 36 square feet" .
__________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
Area of trapezoid: A = (1/2) (base 1 + base 2) * h ;

or; write as: A = (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h ;

in which: A = area of trapezoid;
b₁ = length of one of the bases;
b₂ = length of the "other" base (not already used for "b₁") ;
h = height;

Given: h = 6 ft. ;
b₁ = 7 ft. ;
b₂ = 5 ft. ;
_______________________________________
Find the area of the trapezoid:
______________________________
A = 1/2 * (7 ft + 5 ft) * 6 ft. ;

A = 1/2 * (12 ft) * 6 ft. ;

A = 36 ft² ; which is answer choice: [B].

$1,500 computer; 7% tax

Answers

Tax sucks, trust me. Since we use tax often in our lives, it's quite easy nowadays.

Switch the 7% tax to a number that can be used in a calculation.
Always divide the percent (7%) by 100%.
7% divided by 100% = 0.07

Now, you need to find out the total cost.
Always multiply 0.07 by 1500.
0.07 × 1500 = 105.

Now that we know that you have to pay an extra $105 tax, we can add it with the original price.
$1500 + 105 = 1605.

Your total price for the computer will be: $1605.

You would have to find 7% of $1,500.
7% = 0.07
1,500 x 0.07 = 105
105 + 1,500 = 1,605
The computer cost (with tax added) $1,605.
