Question

I need help with this question check parts a b and c and answer parts d and e

Answer 1

The given equation is:

`L(x)=20-0.4x`

The x intercept is gotten when L(x)=0, hence the x intercept is:

`\begin{gathered} 0=20-0.4x \\ 0.4x=20 \\ x=(20)/(0.4) \\ x=50 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the coordinate of the x intercept is (50,0).

The y intercept is gotten when x=0, hence the y intercept is:

`\begin{gathered} L(x)=20-0.4(0) \\ L(x)=20 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the coordinate of the y intercept is (0,20).

Comparing the equation with y=mx+b it follows that the slope is:

`m=-0.4`

The graph is shown below:

Since the slope is negative, then the learning rate is decreasing.
