Step-by-step explanation:
To simply this, you just divide the numerator and denominator by its GCF (Greatest common factor)
Factors of 18 : 1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 30 : 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
As you can see, the great common factors of 18 and 30 is 6.
So divide 18 by 6 and 30 by 6, and you get 3 and 5
Therefore, the simplest form is 3/5
The top portion of this graph would be y = 4
The bottom portion would be y = x - 1
In order to find both of these, we have to look at them separately. Let's start with the flat line between 1 and -1. Since it is between those numbers, we know this one goes on top. We also know that since the line is horizontal, that the equation must be y = the number that it sits at. This is the definition of a horizontal line. Since the line is at 4, we get y = 4.
For the sloped portion, we have to pick two points and find the equation of the line. Let's use (3, 2) and (5, 4). We must start by finding slope (m)
m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
m = (4 - 2)(5 - 3)
m = 2/2
m = 1
So we know slope to equal 1. Now we can use a point and slope intercept form to find the y-intercept (b)
y = mx + b
4 = 1(5) + b
4 = 5 + b
-1 = b
Now put them together in an equation for the bottom part: y = x - 1
Hope I was able to help :-)
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation 1)A vertical line can be represented by the equation x=a, where a can be any number. If you think about it, there is no y in the function, this making it not a function.
Explanation 2) For a line to be a function it has to pass the vertical line test, so you will draw a vertical line through the function and if it touches more than one point then it is not a function. In this case if you draw a vertical line through a vertical line there are an infinite number of places where the lines intercept, so it is not a function.
