Question

Fatima has a bag of 492 grams of dried figs. She eats 16.4 grams each day. This can be represented by the equation y=492- 16.4x . Determine the x and y intercepts.

Answer 1

x intercept

(x;y=0)

y=492-16.4x

0=492-16.4x

-492=-16.4x /÷(-16.4)

30=x

(30;0)

y intercept

(x=0;y)

y=492-0

y=492

(0,492)
