Question

Fiona wrote the linear equation y = x – 5. When Henry wrote his equation, they discovered that his equation had all the same solutions as Fiona’s. Which equation could be Henry’s?

Answer 1

His equation could be written in quadratic form, which is ax^2+bx=c                     

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Fiona wrote the linear equation y = x – 5.

Henry wrote his equation, they discovered that his equation had all the same solutions as Fiona’s.

Henry's equation could be any equation which is a constant multiple of Fiona's equation.

i.e. it could be

2y=2(x-5)

i.e. 2y=2x-10

Hence, Henry's equation could be:

2y=2x-10
