HELP ASAP PLEASE
The graph of a linear function passes through the points (7,0) and (-8, 45). A second linear function is
shown on this graph.
What is the distance, in units, between the y-intercepts of the two functionS?


HELP ASAP PLEASE The Graph Of A Linear Function Passes Through The Points 70 And 8 45 A Second Linear Function Is Shown On This Graph What Is The Distance In Un class=

Sagot :

distance : 15 units

coordinates :  (7,0) and (-8, 45)

slope:

[tex]\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{45-0}{-8-7}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \rightarrow -3[/tex]

equation:

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y - 0 = -3(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y = -3x+21[/tex]

the y-intercept of this function:

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y = -3(0)+21[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y =21[/tex]

distance between both y-intercept :

  • 21 - 6
  • 15
