Answer:

<em>Answer: b 200 yards</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Real magnitudes can be scaled up or down to adapt to the size of a sheet of paper or the screen of a computer or phone.

Catherine knows she is 50 yards from the school and it's shown as a distance of 3/4 inch on her phone map.

We can calculate the scaling factor from the real distance to the map distance by dividing:

\displaystyle \frac{50}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{200}{3}

Now she sees that she's 3 inches from home on the same map. This is equivalent to a real distance of:

\displaystyle 3\cdot \frac{200}{3}=200

Catherine is 200 yards from her home.

Answer: b 200 yards

Hi there!

We are given two ordered pairs which are:

  • (0,0)
  • (5,4)

If you are curious how do I get these ordered pairs, they come from those two big circles or dots. x and y make relation and can be written as (x,y).

1. Find the slope

  • Yes, our first step is to find the slope of a graph if you want to find an equation. You may be curious how to find that right? No worries! We have got a special formula for you to find the slope!

\large \boxed{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

Since we have two given points, we can substitute them in the formula.

\large{m =  \frac{4 - 0}{5 - 0} } \\  \large \boxed{m =  \frac{4}{5} }

2. Form an equation.

  • Since we have finally found, got or evaluated the slope. Next step is to find the y-intercept. Oh! Before we get to form an equation, do you know the slope-intercept form? We will be using that linear equation form since it is commonly used in the topic.

\large \boxed{y = mx + b}

Where <u>m</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>s</u><u>l</u><u>o</u><u>p</u><u>e</u> and <u>b</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u>-</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>c</u><u>e</u><u>p</u><u>t</u><u>.</u> We substitute m = 4/5.

\large{y =  \frac{4}{5} x + b}

Next thing to remember is that when the graph intersects an origin point, b-term or y-intercept would be 0. Therefore b = 0 since the graph intersects (0,0).

\large \boxed{y =  \frac{4}{5} x}

3. Answer

  • Therefore the equation of the line is y = 4x/5.

{(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4,4)} domain and range
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Domain: 1, 2, 3, 4

Range: 1, 2, 3, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the first coordinate in an ordered pair which is x. In this set of ordered pairs, the first coordinates ( x ) are 1, 2, 3, 4. The range is the second coordinate in an ordered pair which is y. The range of this set of ordered pairs is 1, 2, 3, 4.

Hope This Helps :)
