HELPP 10 POINTS Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function.

erastova [34]

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (6-4)/(4-0)

m = 2/4

y = mx + c

6 = (2/4)(4) + c

c = 4

Thus, the equation is y = (2/4)x +4

I tell you these facts about a mystery number, $c$: $\bullet$ $1.5 < c < 2$ $\bullet$ $c$ can be written as a fraction wit

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Possible answer: $\displaystyle c = \frac{16}{10} = \frac{8}{5} = 1.6$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the bounds of $c$ as fractions:

The simplest fraction for $1.5$ is $\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}$ . Write the upper bound $2$ as a fraction with the same denominator:

$\displaystyle 2 = 2 \times 1 = 2 \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{4}{2}$ .

Hence the range for $c$ would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{2} < c < \frac{4}{2}$ .

If the denominator of $c$ is also $2$ , then the range for its numerator (call it $p$ ) would be $3 < p < 4$ . Apparently, no whole number could fit into this interval. The reason is that the interval is open, and the difference between the bounds is less than $2$ .

To solve this problem, consider scaling up the denominator. To make sure that the numerator of the bounds are still whole numbers, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a whole number (for example, 2.)

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{2} = \frac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 2} = \frac{6}{4}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\times 4}{2 \times 2} = \frac{8}{4}$ .

At this point, the difference between the numerators is now $2$ . That allows a number ( $7$ in this case) to fit between the bounds. However, $\displaystyle \frac{1}{c} = \frac{4}{7}$ can't be written as finite decimals.

Try multiplying the numerator and the denominator by a different number.

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3 \times 3}{3 \times 2} = \frac{9}{6}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{2} = \frac{3\times 4}{3 \times 2} = \frac{12}{6}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{4 \times 2} = \frac{12}{8}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{2} = \frac{4\times 4}{4 \times 2} = \frac{16}{8}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{2} = \frac{5 \times 3}{5 \times 2} = \frac{15}{10}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{2} = \frac{5\times 4}{5 \times 2} = \frac{20}{10}$ .

It is important to note that some expressions for $c$ can be simplified. For example, $\displaystyle \frac{16}{10} = \frac{2 \times 8}{2 \times 5} = \frac{8}{5}$ because of the common factor $2$ .
