What we need to do first, is to write the equation of the line through points A and B. 


the slope of the line through A(3, 7) and B(-4, 9) is 

m= \frac{9-7}{-4-3}= \frac{2}{-7}=- \frac{2}{7}


the equation of the line is :

y-7=- \frac{2}{7}(x-3)\\\\y-7=- \frac{2}{7}x+ \frac{6}{7}\\\\y= - \frac{2}{7}x+ \frac{6}{7}+ \frac{49}{7}\\\\y=  - \frac{2}{7}x+ \frac{55}{7}


C(a, 1) is on this line so it must satisfy the equation:

y=  - \frac{2}{7}x+ \frac{55}{7} \\\\1=  - \frac{2}{7}a+ \frac{55}{7}\\\\ \frac{2}{7}a= \frac{48}{7}\\\\2a=48\\\\a=24

An expression that can only provide a single solution, y, for any given input, x, is called a “function”.

The given pairs are in the form (x,y)

Looking at set A:

(4,-2), (-2, 2), (2,-2), (4, 2)

Notice that if x=2, there are 2 y’s, -2 and 2. Therefore this set is not a function.

 

<span>Answer: A is not a function</span>

aniked [119]

Answer:

270kilometers

To find the distance, all you have to do is the speed · time

In these types of distance time and word problems, you multiply the other factors, 90 and 3, The time(T) · The speed(S)

So. 90(S) · 3(T) = 270(D)
