Answer: Hello there!

we want to find the equation that passes through the point (6, -8) (where this notation stands for (x,y)) with a slope of 0.

a linear equation has the form y = ax+ b

where a is the slope and b is the intercept.

if a = 0, our equation has the form y = b (has no dependence of x)

so we have a constant equation that passes through the point (6, -8) , this means x = 6 and y = -8, but we know that y is constant:

then y = -8 = b

so our equation is y(x) = -8

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-8})~\hspace{10em} slope = 0 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-8)=0(x-6)\implies y+8=0\implies y=-8$

A trucking company uses matrix A , shown below, to represent the driving time in hours for 6 trucking routes. A = [ 4 6 8 ]

Each element of the matrix are multiplied by the scalar to form a matrix of

same size as the original matrix in matrix scalar multiplication.

$60 \cdot A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}240\4&360&480\\360&480&600\end{array}\right]$

Reasons:

The matrix <em>A</em> is presented as follows;

$A = {\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&8\\6&8&10\end{array}\right]}$

Using the multiplication of a matrix and a scalar, we have;

$60 \cdot A = 60 \cdot \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&8\\6&8&10\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}60 \times 4&60 \times 6&60 \times 8\\60 \times 6&60 \times 8&60 \times 10\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{240}&\mathbf{360}&\mathbf{480}\\\mathbf{360}&\mathbf{480}&\mathbf{600}\end{array}\right]$
