Question

whats the y intercept of h(x) = 3x + 4

Answer 1

The answer would be 4.
This line is following the formula y = mx + b where m = slope and b = the y-intercept.
since you have y (or in this case h(x)) = 3x + 4, 3 would be your slope and 4 would be your y-intercept. Does that make sense? (:

Answer 2

yes soo much. thank you.
may i ask two more questions??

Answer 3

Sure! Go for it.

Answer 4

the y intercept of: Kyle started the summer having read 3 books but plans to read 6 books per month over the summer.

Answer 6

i dont know how to find it in a sentence form

Answer 7

Well, you would try to follow a similar model, finding out which one is the constant and which one is the variable and plug it into a similar equation format.
Oh, and sorry @Luigi0210 !

Answer 8

i dont get it):

Answer 9

Just telling you now so you don't get in any trouble by the mods or such :)

Answer 10

@clairbear Welcome to Openstudy too :)

Answer 11

thanks(:

Answer 12

Okay so Kyle is going to be accumulating a certain quota of books but this doesn't affect how many books he's already read. A constant and a variable (or a number that will be subject to change). Once you figure those out, you plug them into the correct places of the formula y= mx+b and it tells you the y-intercept.

Answer 13

whats y reprsent?

Answer 14

In this case it would be the general equation to find how many books he'd end up reading total
