Please help! A line has a slope of 1/4 and passes through point
(0.4, -1/2)
What is the value of the y-intercept?

• -0.6
• -0.4
• -0.275
• -0.525

step-by-step explanation:

compare

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.

4 inches will get you 10.16 centimeters, but you can either do 10.1 or round up to 10.2. good luck and hope this : )
