Hi there!
We are given two ordered pairs which are:
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!

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

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.

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.

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).

3. Answer
- Therefore the equation of the line is y = 4x/5.
The function is:
(9x^2 - 36)
f(x) = ---------------------
3x + 6
You can simplify that function to a linear function for all x for which 3x + 6 ≠ 0
=> x ≠ - 2.
So, for x ≠ - 2, you can do:
(9x^2 - 36)
f(x) = --------------------- =
3x + 6
9(x^2 - 4)
f(x) = ---------------------
3(x + 2)
3(x + 2)(x - 2)
f(x) = --------------------- = 3(x - 2) = 3x - 6
(x + 2)
So, the graph is a right line that intercepts the y-axis at - 6 and the x-axis at x = 2, excluding x = -2 as the function is not defined for x = -2. That is the second graph of the second picture.
Answer:
2,250,000 km
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question our scale is given as:
1 m : 250000km
We are trying to find the distance between two villages which is 9m apart in kilometers
Hence
1 m : 250000km
= 1 m = 250000km
9m = x km
Cross Multiply
x km = 9 × 250,000km
x km = 2,250,000 km
