Explain why it's sometimes helpful to use the point-slope form instead of the slope-intercept form..

1 answer:

4 0

For a slope-intercept form, you only have the data of the slope and the y-intercept. On the other hand, for a point-slope form, you have data on the slope and one point. It is sometimes useful to make use of the latter because in this form, you can graph the equation using only one point. You can also see a point included on the line.

You row a canoe x miles per hour down a river for 20 minutes. On the return trip, you travel 1 mile per hour slower. The return

ozzi

Answer:

Total Distance = 2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know D = RT where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

First Leg:

Rate = x mph

Time = 20/60 = 1/3 hour

Hence, D = RT, Distance = x * 1/3 = x/3 miles

Second Leg:

Rate = x - 1

Time = 30/60 = 1/2 hour

Distance = (x - 1) * 1/2 = (x-1)/2

Total distance is the sum of both the legs, hence,

Total distance = $\frac{x}{3}+\frac{x-1}{2}=\frac{2x+3(x-1)}{6}=\frac{2x+3x-3}{6}=\frac{5x-3}{6}$ miles

Since both the distance are equal we can equate and solve:

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x-1}{2}\\2x=3x-3\\x=3$

Plugging this x = 3 into the total distance expression, we get:

$\frac{5x-3}{6}\\\frac{5(3)-3}{6}\\=2$

Total distance, 2 miles

2 Here are two equations:

MatroZZZ [7]

a. (3,4) is only the solution to Equation 1.

(4, 2.5) is the solution to both equations

(5,5) is the solution to Equation 2

(3,2) is not the solution to any equation.

b. No, it is not possible to have more than one (x,y) pair that is solution to both equations

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Decide whether each neither of the equations,

i (3,4)

ii. (4,2.5)

ill. (5,5)

iv. (3,2)

To decide whether each point is solution to equations or not we will put the point in the equations

Equations are:

Equation 1: 6x + 4y = 34

Equation 2: 5x – 2y = 15

i (3,4)

Putting in Equation 1:

$6(3) + 4(4) = 34\\18+16=34\\34=34\\$

Putting in Equation 2:

$5(3) - 2(4) = 15\\15-8 = 15\\7\neq 15$

ii. (4,2.5)

Putting in Equation 1:

$6(4) + 4(2.5) = 34\\24+10=34\\34=34\\$

Putting in Equation 2:

$5(4) - 2(2.5) = 15\\20-5 = 15\\15=15$

ill. (5,5)

$6(5) + 4(5) = 34\\30+20=34\\50\neq 34$

Putting in Equation 2:

$5(5) - 2(5) = 15\\25-10 = 15\\15=15$

iv. (3,2)

$6(3) + 4(2) = 34\\18+8=34\\26\neq 34$

Putting in Equation 2:

$5(3) - 2(2) = 15\\15-4 = 15\\11\neq 15$

Hence,

(3,4) is only the solution to Equation 1.

(4, 2.5) is the solution to both equations

(5,5) is the solution to Equation 2

(3,2) is not the solution to any equation.

b. Is it possible to have more than one (x, y) pair that is a solution to both

equations?

The simultaneous linear equations' solution is the point on which the lines intersect. Two lines can intersect only on one point. So a linear system cannot have more than one point as a solution

So,

a. (3,4) is only the solution to Equation 1.

(4, 2.5) is the solution to both equations

(5,5) is the solution to Equation 2

(3,2) is not the solution to any equation.

b. No, it is not possible to have more than one (x,y) pair that is solution to both equations
