Question

Can someone please help me with this

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4x

y = -1/3 × x + 6

y = x + 1

y = 1

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is the factor of x in the equation representing the ratio of y/x. it stands for the number of units y changes, when x changes by another number of units.

like the factor 4 tells us that when x changes by 1, then y changes by 4.

a line parallel to another line means their slopes are identical (otherwise they could not be parallel).

the slope of a perpendicular line (cutting the other line in a 90 degree angle) is simply reversing y and x in the slope ratio. so, a slope of 4 (4/1) would simply turn into 1/4.

now the 5 tasks are easy, right ?

A y=4x-1, B y=4x + c

and because B passes through the origin = (0,0),

c is 0 (0=4×0 + c = c)

B y = 4x

A y=-3x+1, B y=-1/3 × x + c

and B passes through (12,2), 2 = -1/3 × 12 + c = -4 + c,

c = 2 + 4 = 6

B y = -1/3 × x + 6

A y = ax + c for (5,6) and (7,8), B is identical

6 = a×5 + c => c = 6 - a×5

8 = a×7 + c => 8 = a×7 + 6 - a×5 = a×2 + 6

=> a×2 = 8-6 = 2

=> a = 1, c = 6 - 1×5 = 1

=> A and B y = x + 1

A is vertical. B is perpendicular to it. perpendicular to vertical is horizontal. so, B is a flat line. which means y is a constant value (the same value for whatever value of x you want to use). so it goes flat in parallel to the x-axis through what value of y ? the point (4,1) tells us that y=1

and that is the equation for B

A 15x -3y = -6 => 3y = 15x + 6 => y = 5x + 2

B is parallel, so y = 5x + c

and B passes through (4,20), 20 = 5 × 4 + c = 20 + c,

c = 20 - 20 = 0

B y = 5x
