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

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!

Lines k and n are perpendicular.if the slope of line k is -6,what is the slope of line n?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Well perpendicular lines are reciprocals of each other,

meaning if like k has a slope of -6 then line n will have a slope of positive 1/6.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>line n has a slope of 1/6.</em>

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 763 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Saturday. There were 63 more cheeseburgers s
Airida [17]
In order to solve this we'll start by assigning variables to hamburgers and cheeseburgers, since these are what we're trying to find. Lets say x = hamburgers and y = cheeseburgers. So we know two things, we know that x+y= 763 (hamburgers plus cheeseburgers sold equals 763, and we know that y= x+63 (cheeseburgers sold equals 63 more than hamburgers sold). Now we have a system of equations. This can be solved most easily by rearranging each equation to each y, and then set them equal to each other:
x+y=763 -> y=763-x, and we already have y=x+63. Set them equal to each other:
x+63 = 763-x (add x to both sides) -> 2x+63 = 763 (subtract 63 from both sides) -> 2x = 700 (divide both sides by 2) x = 350. So we solved for x, which is hamburgers sold, which is what the question asks for, so your answer is 350 hamburgers were sold on Saturday

ki77a [65]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

With regards to the above, since 1/4 of the volunteers are teenagers, the fraction of the volunteers would be

= 1 - 1/4

= 3/4

It therefore means that 3/4 of the volunteers are teenagers.

ziro4ka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the line passes through (6, 2) and (10, -1),

the slope =

(-1-2)/(10-6) = -3/4

the equation :

y-2 = -3/4(x -6)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-29-(-9))/(15-7)

m=(-29+9)/8

m=-20/8

simplify

m=-5/2
