Answer:
both functions have the same graph
Step-by-step explanation:
The first function is described in terms of its slope and y-intercept, so can be written in slope-intercept form as ...
y = mx + b . . . . m = slope (-7/9); b = y-intercept (3)
y = -7/9x +3
__
The second function is written in point-slope form:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . m = slope (-7/9), point = (h, k) = (18, -11)
y +11 = -7/9(x -18)
If we rearrange the second equation to the form of the first, we get ...
y = -7/9x +14 -11 . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 11
y = -7/9x +3 . . . . . . . matches the equation of the first function
__
Both functions describe the same relation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope form of the equation of a straight line is:
(1)
The two points given in the problem are:
So, the slope of the line is given by:
And substituting into eq.(1), we find:
