Determine the intercepts of the line: y = -9x - 14y

x-intercept (-14/9, 0), y-intercept (0, -14)

Step-by-step explanation:

0=-9x-14

9x=-14

x=-14/9

y=-9(0)-14

y=-14

Step-by-step explanation:

When x=0, you have ...

  y = -9(0) -14 = -14

When y=0, you have ...

  0 = -9x -14

  0 = x +14/9 . . . . divide by -9

  -14/9 = x . . . . . . subtract the constant

The x-intercept is (-14/9, 0)

The y-intercept is (0, -14)

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743

step-by-step explanation:

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
