Answer: D) No. The graph fails the vertical line test.
Explanation:
We are able to draw a single vertical line that passes through more than one point on the red curve. For example, we could draw a vertical line through x = 5 and have it cross the red curve at (5,4) and (5,-4).
So this is one example where the graph fails the vertical line test. It passes this test when such a thing doesn't happen. In other words, a function is only possible if any x input leads to exactly one and only one y output.
In this case, x = 5 leads to multiple outputs y = 4 and y = -4 at the same time. There are other x values which this occurs as well (any x values such that x > 1). So this is why we don't have a function.
Answer:
-46 -35 -10 y -7 7 8 13 35 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of the y terms are -3 and 2. The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. So multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3, so that the y terms have a coefficient of 6.
4x − 6y = 42
-18x + 6y = 21
The signs are opposite, so add the equations together.
-14x = 63
x = -9/2
