Answer:
5 units. Since they have the same y coordinate the x coordinate determines the distance from each other. In the case 9-4=5.
B2-7b+12=0
(b-3)(b-4)=0
b= 3 or 4
C. $122.10
20 first hour
20+0.1*20 = 22 second hour
22+0.1*22 = 24.2 third hour
24.2+0.1*24.2 = 26.62 fourth hour
26.62+0.1*26.62 = 29.282 fifth hour
Total=$122.10
What if I write the equation like this:
y = zero x - 3.
Now you know that the slope of the line is zero and its y-intercept is -3.
That's a horizontal line that crosses the y-axis at -3. And just like the equation says, the value of 'y' doesn't depend on 'x'. It's -3 everywhere.
