Answer: The independent variables are the times and the dependant variables are tempatures.

Step-by-step explanation: the independent variables are what YOU changed, and you changed what time you checked. The dependent variable is what you didn't change, and you didn't change the temperatures!

Compare the line passing through the points (−3, −11) and (6, 4) to the line given by the equation y=35x−6.

Aleks04 [339]

Let
A------> (−3, −11)
B------> (6, 4)

step 1
find the slope m point A and point B
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=(4+11)/(6+3)----> m=15/9---> 5/3

step 2
with m=5/3 and point B (6, 4) find the equation of a line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-4=(5/3)*(x-6)---> y=(5/3)x-6

case a. they have the same slope------> is not correct
because
y=35x−6------> the slope m=35
y=(5/3)x-6---> the slope m =5/3

case b. they have the same x-intercept.----> is not correct
because
the x-intercept is for y=0

y=35x−6-----> 0=35x-6----> 35x=6-----> x=6/35
the x-intercept is the point (6/35,0)

y=(5/3)x-6----> 0=(5/3)x-6----> (5/3)x=6---> x=18/5
the x-intercept is the point (18/5,0)

case c. the two lines are perpendicular. do. they have the same y-intercept-----> is nor correct
because

if two lines are perpendicular
m1*m2=-1-------> this condition is not satisfied

the y intercept is for x=0

y=35x−6-------> y=-6
the y intercept is the point (0,-6)

y=(5/3)x-6-----> y=-6
the y intercept is the point (0,-6)

they have the same y-intercept but the two lines are not perpendicular
