A table of values of a linear function is shown below.
1 answer:
Given:
A table of values of a linear function.
To find:
The slope, y-intercept and equation of the function.
Solution:
Take any two points on the table.
Let the points are (-1, -3) and (0, -6).
Slope of the line:
m = -3
Slope of the function = -3
y-intercept of the function is the point where x = 0.
In the table y = -6 when x = 0
y-intercept = -6
Equation of a line:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
y = -3x + (-6)
y = -3x - 6
Equation of a function is y = -3x - 6.

1. Line l; point P not on l.( Take a line I and mark point P outside it or on the line.So from point P there are infinite number of lines out of which only one line is parallel to line I. Suppose you are taking point P on line I, from that point P also infinite number of lines can be drawn but only one line will be coincident or parallel to line I.
2. Plane R is parallel to plane S; Plane T cuts planes R and S.(Imagine you are sitting inside a room ,consider two walls opposite to each other as two planes R and S and floor on which you are sitting as third plane T ,so R and S are parallel and plane T is cutting them so in this case their lines of intersect .But this is not possible in each and every case, suppose R and S planes are parallel to each other and Plane T cuts them like two faces of a building and third plane T is stairs or suppose it is in slanting position i.e not parallel to R and S so in this case also lines of intersection will be parallel.
3. △ABC with midpoints M and N.( As you know if we take a triangle ABC ,the mid points of sides AB and AC being M and N, so the line joining the mid point of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and is half of it.
4.Point B is between points A and C.( Take a line segment AC. Mark any point B anywhere on the line segment AC. Three possibilities arises
(i) AB > BC (ii) AB < BC (iii) AB = BC
Since A, B,C are collinear .So in each case
