Answer:

D. The three points could be the vertices of a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

collinear points : points are said to be collinear if they lie on the same line.

so, any three given points need not be collinear because, they can even be the vertices of a triangle.

this is explained in the option D so, it is correct.

option A is wrong because, those three points can be collinear also i.e if we put three points on a line, then they will be collinear.

option B is wrong because, it is saying that they do not have to be collinear. but the fact is, they can be collinear.

option C is wrong because, four points also need not be collinear. they can be vertices of a square!

Which of the following has a constant of proportionality of 2? A) y = 2x B) y = x + 2 C) 2y = x D) y + 2 = 2x

Setler [38]

The correct answer is A.

You have direct variation if x and y are modeled by the equation

$y = mx$

In this case, m is the constant of proportionality. So, if the constant has to be 2, the equation becomes

$y = 2x$

A side note: Actually, option C has a constant of proportionality of two as well, except the roles of x and y are interchanged. I chose option A because usually you want the y = mx form, but the names of the variables are obviously meaningless.

Find several points that are on the graph of the function y = x^2 + 1. Plot the points in a coordinate plane.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot following points.

Calculate the point by plugging in values of x into x^2 + 1

for example When x = 0, y = 0^1 + 1 = 1.

So plot plot (0, 1),

Make a table of points to plot:

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

y 10 5 2 1 2 5 10

When you plot the points you'll see the graph is U shaped.

The function is of second degree (as it contains x^2) so it wont be linear.
