A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a) where p and a are real numbers. If p=0, what is the y-intercept? Explain your reasoning.
<span>p - as "x" never changes with the value of "y", so no matter what y is, x is always "p", so when y is 0, x = p </span>
<span>slope of the line </span>
<span>change in y over the change in x </span>
<span>(-a - a) / (p - p) = infinity - or a vertical line </span>
<span>equation of the line </span>
<span>y = p </span>
<span>slope of a line perpendicular to the given line </span>
<span>inverse of the orig slope or (p - p)/(-a - a) = 0</span>
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
i am not sure i but i think it is
As an improper fraction, it would be -11/4
As a mixed number, it would be
-2 and 3/4
