Answers:
Horizontal Line: y = 5
Vertical Line: x = 8
=================================================
Explanation:
All horizontal lines are of the form y = k, for some constant k. We want the horizontal line to pass through (8,5), meaning every point on this horizontal line must have y coordinate 5. Therefore, y = 5 is the equation of the horizontal line. Two such points on this line are (1, 5) and (8, 5). All that matters is the y coordinate is 5. The x coordinate can be anything you want. The slope of any horizontal line is 0.
Flipping things around, all vertical lines will have the x coordinate of each point be the same value. Draw a vertical line through (8,5) and note how each point has x coordinate of 8. Two such points are (8,1) and (8,5). Therefore, the equation of the vertical line is x = 8. The y coordinate can be any value you want. The slope of any vertical line is undefined. Unlike the horizontal line, we cannot write this equation in slope intercept form (namely because the slope isn't defined).
Answer:
Question 1: 71 and 72
Question 2: Child 1: 60 lbs, Child 2: 15 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
Consecutive numbers are 2 numbers right next to each other.
You know the numbers will have to be double digits number.
71 and 72 are consecutive numbers. The sum of them is 143.
71+72=143
Question 2:
For this problem, we can use system of equations to find the mass of the 2 children. Let's say x is the first child and y is the second child.
Equation 1
x+y=75
This equation comes from the combined mass of the 2 children.
Equation 2
x=4y
This equation comes from the first child being 4 times the mass of the second child.
Since we know the value of x, we can use substitution to find y.
4y+y=75
5y=75
y=15
Now that we know the second child is 15 lbs, we can plug this into any of the 2 equations to find the mass of the first child.
x=4(15)
x=60
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y=1x+10
y=15x+2
