Which of the equations below represents a line parallel to the x-axis?

Mathematics

stiv31 [10]3 years ago

Answer:

d. y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line parallel to the x-axis will always be in the form y=b, where b is the y-intercept (where on the y-axis the line crosses). So, for y=5, the line crosses the y-axis when y is equal to 5.

The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis will always be in the form x=d, where d is the x-intercept (where on the x-axis the line crosses). So, for option a, x=5, it is a vertical line that crosses the x-axis when x is equal to 5. It is therefore not parallel to the x-axis.

Option b gives an equation that isn't for a linear relation entirely.

Linear equations are typically given in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is, again, the y-intercept. Option c presents the equation of y=x, and this can be rewritten as y=1x+0. In other words, the slope of the line is 1 and it crosses the y axis when y is equal to 0. Lines that are parallel to the x-axis will always have a slope of 0, so therefore, this line is not parallel to the x-axis.

I hope this helps!

Point-slope of line's equation (-3,-7),(-8-11)
Nataly_w [17]
Steps:
1. Find the slope by using the slope formula
Y2-Y1
---------
X2-X1

-11 + 7
----------
-8 + 3
2.
-11 + 7= -4
-8 + 3= -5
3. Your slope is 4/5 (because you have to turn two negatives into a positive)
4. Now you do the point-slope formula
Y-Y1= m(x-x1)
Y +7=4/5 (x +3)

Which of the following equations has infinitely many solutions? A. 2x + 5(2x + 6) = 12x + 30 B. 2x + 5 = 2 C. 2(x + 5) + 2 = 6x
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A. 2x + 5(2x + 6) = 12x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Infinitely many solutions means the two sides of the equation will be equal to each other, so B and D can be eliminated. Distribute for A and C to check

A. 2x + 5(2x + 6) = 12x + 30

    2x + 10x + 30 = 12x + 30

    12x + 30 = 12x + 30

C. 2(x + 5) + 2 = 6x + 2(x + 2)

    2x + 10 + 2 = 6x +2x + 4

     2x + 12 = 8x + 4

You only get the same equation for A, therefore A is the correct answer

What is the least common denominator of 3, x, and x?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LCD

you have 1 x not 2.

Suppose you have

y/3 + 3y/x + 7y / x

Unless there is something different about the question, you need only 1 x. The other one get's absorbed.

Answer: LCM = 3 * x
