Write the equation of the line passing through the given pair of points. (-9, 7) and (-9, -1)

1 answer:

8 0

The first thing I should do with these two points is find the slope of the line.

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

m = (-1 - 7)/(-9 - -9)
m = -8/0

The slope is undefined. We cannot divide by 0. This makes sense because the points (-9, 7) and (-9, -1) would be right on top of each other. This is a vertical line that has an x-intercept at -9.

Your equation would be x = -9.

Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?

Tomtit [17]

As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
