1. The linear equation y = 3x tells us that this line is going to be more vertical or horizontal? Explain.

More vertical.
y=x, where the slope is 1, is a line that forms a 45 degree angle with the positive part of the x axis. y=3x has a bigger slope, so it is going to rise 3 times faster than y=x so the line is more vertical
I hope that makes sense.

The linear equation y=3x tells you that it’s going more vertical

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}$

both zeros are irrational numbers

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

$\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}$
