You can find the x and y intercepts by plugging 0 in for each of the variables
(0)=-7x-1
1=-7x
x=-1/7
your x- intercept is (-1/7,0)
y=-7(0)-1
y=-1
your y-intercept is (0,-1)
basically have to find the lowest common multiply of 6 and 9.
The LCM of 6 minutes and 9 minutes = 18 minutes
so if they both leave at 4:00 p.m., they would then both leave at 4:18 p.m.
First you do 3 to the 2nd power which is 9 then you just add 12+9+50= 71
You multiply all the sides to find the value of x
My answer is p = 5,258.92
I hope this helps
