Your answer would be B. 0.09, the reason being is that any number that has a 0 and then a decimal point is irrational (or a regular fraction
Dude I don’t think using this for an exam is it but ok
2 Answers:
- B) The lines are parallel
- C) The lines have the same slope.
Parallel lines always have equal slope, but different y intercepts.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let's solve the second equation for y
3y - x = -7
3y = -7+x
3y = x-7
y = (x-7)/3
y = x/3 - 7/3
y = (1/3)x - 7/3
The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 1/3 as the slope and b = -7/3 as the y intercept. We see that the first equation, where y was already isolated, also has a slope of m = 1/3. The two equations of this system have the same slope. Choice C is one of the answers.
However, they don't have the same y intercept. The first equation has y intercept b = -4, while the second has b = -7/3. This means that they do not represent the same line. They need to have identical slopes, and identical y intercepts (though the slope can be different from the y intercept of course) in order to have identical lines. So we can rule out choice D and E because of this.
Because the two equations have the same slope, but different y intercepts, this means the lines are parallel. Choice B is the other answer.
Parallel lines never touch or intersect, which in turn means there is no solution point. A solution point is where the lines cross. We can rule out choice A.
I recommend using your graphing calculator, Desmos, GeoGebra, or any graphing tool (on your computer or online) to graph each equation given. You should see two parallel lines forming. I used GeoGebra to make the graph shown below.
A) y = 2x – 7 and f(x) = 7 – 2xIncorrect. These equations look similar but are not the same. The first has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of −7. The second function has a slope of −2 and a y-intercept of 7. It slopes in the opposite direction. They do not produce the same graph, so they are not the same function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. B) 3x = y – 2 and f(x) = 3x – 2Incorrect. These equations represent two different functions. If you rewrite the first equation in terms of y, you’ll find the equation of the function is y = 3x + 2. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. C) f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5Correct. The expressions that follow f(x) = and y = are the same, so these are two different ways to write the same function: f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5. D) None of the aboveIncorrect. Look at the expressions that follow f(x) = and y =. If the expressions are the same, then the equations represent the same exact function. The correct answer is f(x) = 3x2 + 5 and y = 3x2 + 5.
