Answer:

C) It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are on a straight line.  

Explanation:

The missing options for this question are:

A) It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are on a straight line.  

B) It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (8, 0), (12, 1), (16, 2), which are not on a straight line.

C) It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are on a straight line.  

D) It is a nonlinear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are not on a straight line.

The given equation is:

y = 4x + 8

Replacing x by 0, we get y = 8. This means point (0, 8) lies on the graph of the function.

Replacing x by 1, we get y = 12. This means point (1, 12) lies on the graph of the function.

Replacing x by 2, we get y = 16. This means point (2, 16) lies on the graph of the function.

If we plot these three points on a graph we can draw a straight line through these. Hence, based on this we can conclude that:

C) It is a linear function because the graph contains the points (0, 8), (1, 12), (2, 16), which are on a straight line.  

The line passing through these 3 points would actually be the given equation y = 4x + 8 as one and only one line can pass through 3 distinct points.

Q1: Identify the graph of the equation and write an equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form.
marin [14]

Answer:

C. hyperbola; 9x^2-25y^2-250y-850=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given conic has equation:

9x^2-25y^2=225

Divide through by 225.

\frac{9x^2}{225}-\frac{25y^2}{225}=\frac{225}{225}

\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1

This is a hyperbola centered at the origin.

The hyperbola has been translated from the origin to (0,5).

The translated hyperbola will have equation;

\frac{(x-0)^2}{25}-\frac{(y-5)^2}{9}=1

Multiply through by 225.

9(x-0)^2-25(y-5)^2=225

Expand

9x^2-25(y^2-10y+25)=225

9x^2-25y^2+250y-625=225

Rewrite in general form;

9x^2-25y^2+250y-625-225=0

9x^2-25y^2+250y-850=0
