Why does Taiwan have to enter athletes into the Olympic under the title " Chinese Taipei "

1 answer:

4 0

Because Taiwan has a political feud with China, China thinks Taiwan is part of their country, therefore does not recognize Taiwan as a official country, hence the name "Chinese Taipei".

I'm Taiwanese, so I'm trying to make this an unbiased answer. Also, we are trying very hard to get the right to use our flag and the name Taiwan in international events.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5). What is the equation of the line parall

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

y=4x-16

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line is: y=mx+x, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given points (-3,-3) and (-1,5)

We are to find the equation of the line parallel to the given line with an x-intercept of 4.

First, we determine the value of the gradient of the line.

Gradient,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\=\frac{5-(-3)}{-1-(-3)} \\=\frac{5+3}{-1+3}\\=\frac{8}{2}\\m=4$

Two lines are parallel if their gradients $m_1 \: and \: m_2$ are equal.

The gradient of the line parallel to the given line $m_2=4$

Since the x-intercept of the new line is 4, a point on the new line, $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$

Substituting $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$ into the equation of a line: , $y-y_1=m(x-x_1),$ we have:

$y-0=4(x-4)\\$Therefore:\\y=4x-16$

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y=4x-16
