Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of the line in intercept form</u>

The intercept form of the equation of a line is:

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$

Where:

a = x-intercept

b = y-intercept

The standard form of a line is:

Ax + By = C

The given line has a=6 and b=-2, thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{6}+\frac{y}{-2}=1$

Multiplying by 6:

x - 3y = 6

This is the required standard form of the line.

Thus, the standard form of the line is:

x - 3y = 6

Answer:

87.5

Step-by-step explanation:

87.5 because if your earning a 3.5% of the $500 then that means you're earning 17.5 dollars.in an year therefore in five years you multiply the 17.5 x 5 years which will give you at 87.5 so we've had in total you can get to 587.5 dollars

One positive integer is 1 less than twice another. The sum of their squares is 106. Find the integers.

They give us 2 pieces to the puzzle. Both are positive numbers...x and y.
1.) 1 number is 1 less than twice another number. (x = 2y -1)...and
2.) the sum of their squares is 106. (x^2 + y^2 = 106).

substitute the value for x into the second equation.

(2y-1)^2 + y^2 = 106
(2y-1) (2y-1) + y^2 = 106 (use distributive property)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 = 106 (subtract 106 from both sides)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 - 106 = 106 - 106 (combine like terms)
5y^2 - 4y - 105 = 0 (factor)
(y-5) (5y-21) = 0 (set to 0)
y - 5 = 0
y = 5

substitute the 5 into the equation for y (x = 2(5) - 1)
x = 9 if we square 9, we get 81.
subtracted from 106 we have 25...the square root of 25 is 5.

our answers are 5 and 9.
