Explain how to determine the x- and y- intercepts of a line from a given equation in y = mx + b form.

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept:  Set y = 0 and solve for x:

 0 = mx + b, or mx = -b, or x = -b/m.  x-intercept is then (-b/m, 0)

y-intercept:  Set x = 0 and solve for y:  y = m(0) + b, or y = b.  y-intercept is then

 (0, b).

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
