The function y=−0.25x+0.7 represents the percent y (in decimal form) of battery power remaining x hours after you turn on a laptop computer. identify the x and y intercepts.

x-intercept: 2.8 hours

y-intercept: 0.7 . . . . fraction of power remaining

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in slope-intercept form, so the y-intercept can be read directly: 0.7.

To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x:

0 = -0.25x +0.7

0.25x = 0.7 . . . . . add .25x

x = 2.8 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 (that is, the reciprocal of 0.25)

The x-intercept is 2.8; the y-intercept is 0.7.

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
