For line l to intersect line m at point (2, 1/2), line m must have the point (2,1/2) on its graph. It is implied that line l already has the point (2, 1/2). If line m does not have it, then there will be no intersection at that specific point.
Try checking every choice to see if it has point (2,1/2) on the graph.
Note that (x,y) = (2,1/2); check by using x=2 and y=1/2.
For A,
2x = y/2
2(2) = (1/2) / 2
4 <span>≠ 1/4
</span>
Cannot be choice A as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)
For B:
2y = 3 - x
2(1/2) = 3 - 2
1 = 1
This is a true equation so the point (2,1/2) is on the graph of 2y=3-x. This means that if this is the equation for line m, then line m will have a point at (2,1/2) and therefore intersect with line l. Therefore, B is the answer.
The rest of the choices are false as shown:
For C:
2x + 4y = 8
2(2) + 4(1/2) = 8
4 + 2 = 8
6 ≠ 8
Cannot be choice C as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)
For D:
y = 4 - (5/4)x
1/2 = 4 - (5/4)(2)
1/2 = 4 - 5/2
1/2 = 8/2 - 5/2
1/2≠ 3/2
Cannot be choice D as it results in a false equation; this choice will not go through (2,1/2)
Answer:
fourhundred
Step-by-step explanation:
The letter equivalents are ...
16, 1, 3, 9, 6, 9, 3, 16, 5, 18, 6, 15, 18, 13, 1, 14, 3,
5, 5, 14, 7, 9, 14, 5, 5, 18, 9, 14, 7
Their sum is 268, so the result of the math is 400. Spelled out without spaces, that is "fourhundred".
