Mitch refuses to dine at a certain restaurant because he recalls reading two or three negative reviews of its service on a popular website. mitch is falling prey to:

In this situation, we can actually see that Mitch was simply basing her taste on the information that is readily available to her. She does not even consider whether those reviews are legit or reliable. Mitch is falling into what we call as:

“the availability heuristic”

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
