Plot the x- and y-intercepts to graph the equation.
Y =
= 1x – 1

plot points (0, -1) and (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

compare the given equation to

y=mx +b where b is the y-intercept

y= 1/3 x -1 so thhe y-intercept is at point (0, -1)

to find the x-intercept make y=0

x/3  -1 =0

x/3  =1

x= 3 so x-intercept is at point (3, 0)

answer

the correct answer is

explanation

the given function is

the excluded values are obtained by solving:

we factor to obtain:

the excluded values are

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
