Two collinear points on a line are given in the table below:

katrin [286]

Answer:

$(4,3)$ and $(7,2)$ do not lie on the line

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(0,0)\ and\ (2,1)$

Required

Determine which points that are not on the line

First, we need to determine the slope (m) of the line:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1}$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,1)$

So;

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1}$

$m = \frac{1 - 0}{2-0}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}$

Next, we determine the line equation using:

$y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)$

Where

$m = \frac{1}{2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,0)$

$y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)$ becomes

$y - 0 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 0)$

$y = \frac{1}{2}x$

To determine which point is on the line, we simply plug in the values of x to in the equation check.

For $(4,2)$

$x = 4$ and $y =2$

Substitute 4 for x and 2 for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$2 = \frac{1}{2} * 4$

$2 = \frac{4}{2}$

$2=2$

This point is on the graph

For $(4,3)$

$x = 4$ and $y = 3$

Substitute 4 for x and 3 for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$3 = \frac{1}{2} * 4$

$3 = \frac{4}{2}$

$3 \neq 2$

This point is not on the graph

For $(7,2)$

$x = 7$ and $y = 2$

Substitute 7 for x and 2 for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$2 = \frac{1}{2} * 7$

$2 = \frac{7}{2}$

$2 \neq 3.5$

This point is not on the graph

$(\frac{4}{8},\frac{2}{8})$

$x = \frac{4}{8}$ and $y = \frac{2}{8}$

Substitute $\frac{4}{8}$  for x and  $\frac{2}{8}$ for y in $y = \frac{1}{2}x$

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1 * 4}{8 * 2}$

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{4}{16}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

This point is on the graph

A young boy has 40 total pets. He has two different types of pets. He has cats and penguins. The total number of the heads of hi

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the variables:

C = number of cats.

P = number of penguins.

We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:

C + P = 40

We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)

Then we have the equation:

40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P

Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:

(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P

40 = 4*C

Now with this, we can find the value of C.

40/4 = C = 10

Then he has 10 cats.

Now we can replace this in the equation:

P + C = 40

to find the value of P

P + 10 = 40

P = 40 - 10 = 30

P = 30

He has 30 penguins.

A football stadium holds 52,000 fans. A college student is doing research and determines that on any given game day, the home te

Kamila [148]

Hi!!
The answer to your question is asking us to make an algerbraic equation for this situation.
H = 5V
Also, H + V = 52,000. H and V can then be solves by solving the 2 equations.
The results are 43,333 and 8,667
If you still don't understand message me
If you do plz brainlest
