A $675 stereo receiver loses value at a rate of about $18 per month The equation y = 675 - 18x repreA $675 stereo receiver loses value at a rate of about $18 per month The equation y = 675 - 18x represents the value of the receiver after x months. Identify and interpret the x- and y-intercepts. Explain how you can use the intercepts to help you graph the equation
y = 675 - 18x
The y-intercept is found when x is 0:
y = 675 - 18(0)
y = 675 - 0
y = 675
The x-intercept is found when y is 0:
0 = 675 - 18x

A line has a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of -4. What is its equation in slope intercept formA line has a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of -4. What is its equation in slope intercept form
The slope-intercept equation for a line:
y = mx + b where m is the slope
Given m = 7, we have:
y = 7x + b
The y-intercept is found by setting x to 0:
y = 7(0) + b
y = 0 + b
y = b
We're given the y-intercept is -4, so we have:
b = -4
So our slope-intercept equation is:
[B]y = 7x - 4[/B]

[*]The slope intercept form is y = mx + b
[*]y is John's weight
[*]x is the number of weeks

Equation 2y+5x=40. Interprt the interceptsEquation 2y+5x=40. Interprt the intercepts
Y intercept is when X = 0
2y + 5(0) = 40
2y = 40
Divide each side by 2
[B]y = 20
[/B]
X intercept is when Y = 0
2(0) + 5x = 40
5x = 40
Divide each side by 5
[B]x = 8[/B]
Explain the steps you would take to find an equation for the line perpendicular to 4x - 5y = 20 andExplain the steps you would take to find an equation for the line perpendicular to 4x - 5y = 20 and sharing the same y-intercept
Get this in slope-intercept form by adding 5y to each side:
4x - 5y + 5y = 5y + 20
Cancel the 5y's on the left side and we get:
5y + 20 = 4x
Subtract 20 from each side
5y + 20 - 20 = 4x - 20
Cancel the 20's on the left side and we get:
5y = 4x - 20
Divide each side by 5:
5y/5 = 4x/5 - 4
y = 4x/5 - 4
So we have a slope of 4/5
to find our y-intercept, we set x = 0:
y = 4(0)/5 - 4
y = 0 - 4
y = -4
If we want a line perpendicular to the line above, our slope will be the negative reciprocal:
The reciprocal of 4/5 is found by flipping the fraction making the numerator the denominator and the denominator the numerator:
m = 5/4
Next, we multiply this by -1:
-5/4
So our slope-intercept of the perpendicular line with the same y-intercept is:
[B]y = -5x/4 - 4[/B]
