Answer:

x_2=x_1

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the slope formula;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

This line is vertical if the denominator is zero.

That is when x_2-x-1=0

This implies that;

x_2=x_1

Justification;

When x_2=x_1, then, the line passes through;

(x_1,y_1)  and (x_1,y_2)

The slope now become

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_1-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}

The equation of the line is

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}(x-x_1)

This implies that;

0(y-y_1)=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)

0=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)

\frac{0}{y_2-y_1}=(x-x_1)

0=(x-x_1)

x=x_1... This is the equation of a vertical line.

A graphing calculator can do a linear regression on these points very easily. The y-intercept is 107.

_____
If you want to do this by hand, you can use the 2-point form of the equation for a line, then evaluate for x=0.
.. y = (100 -102)/(35 -25)*(x -25) +102
.. y =-2/10*(0 -25) +102
.. y = 107

56 = ?×?×?×? i want to know what number ecual yo 56 by multiplying it 4 times to get your answer
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

4 * 14 = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

56/2 = 28

28/2 = 14

14/2 = 7

7/7 = 1

56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7

56 = (2 * 2) * (2 * 7)

56 = 4 * 14
