Okay, let’s look at it this way: when does a line pass through the origin? The line represents possible values of x and y that satisfy the equation.

So, when a line passes through the origin, it passes through the coordinates (0,0). x = 0, y = 0. So, let’s model this with the equation ax + by + c = 0. Sub in x = 0 and y = 0 to the equation and we find that 0 + 0 + c = 0. Clearly, c = 0.

So, with this simple explanation, I hope you understand when a line does pass through the origin.

Now, let’s look at when a line doesn’t pass through the origin. This is when c is not equal to 0. Hence, when x = 0, y cannot equal 0; c + by = 0, and we know that c is not 0. If y is 0, then we get c = 0… where c is not 0. Ehh. Thus, you can see that a line does not pass through the origin when c is not equal to 0 by ehat is hope is a simple explanation. You don’t need to know how to prove it, I presume, but that’s not too hard either.

Oops, I realised that I just assumed you were talking about linear graphs. For quadratic graphs, the reasoning is similar. For graphs of the form y = ax^2, the minimum/maximum point of the graph will be the origin. For graphs of the form y = ax^2 + bx, it will pass through the origin but the line of symmetry will be different. For graphs of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c (you know, where c is not zero) , the graph will not pass through the origin because the maximum/ minimum point is actually raised or lowered by c units

What are potential impacts of pollution on a watershed? Check all that apply.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

contaminated drinking water

deaths of sea creatures that are used as a food source

limits to potential economic activities such as a fishing

Explanation:

A watershed is a large area that comprises of drainage area of all the surrounding water bodies meeting at a common affluence point before draining into sea or ocean or any other large water body. Pollution in this area can pollute the small water streams flowing through it, thereby polluting the larger water body into which it drains.  

Thus, the water extracted for drinking from such area will be contaminated. Pollution in larger water body can cause death of water creature and hence pose a threat to fishing.
