Write equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (8,5)

Mathematics

Answers:

Horizontal Line:  y = 5

Vertical Line:  x = 8

=================================================

Explanation:

All horizontal lines are of the form y = k, for some constant k. We want the horizontal line to pass through (8,5), meaning every point on this horizontal line must have y coordinate 5. Therefore, y = 5 is the equation of the horizontal line. Two such points on this line are (1, 5) and (8, 5). All that matters is the y coordinate is 5. The x coordinate can be anything you want. The slope of any horizontal line is 0.

Flipping things around, all vertical lines will have the x coordinate of each point be the same value. Draw a vertical line through (8,5) and note how each point has x coordinate of 8. Two such points are (8,1) and (8,5). Therefore, the equation of the vertical line is x = 8. The y coordinate can be any value you want. The slope of any vertical line is undefined. Unlike the horizontal line, we cannot write this equation in slope intercept form (namely because the slope isn't defined).

Round 8.87689068442 to 2 decimal places.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The answer is 8.88; You look at the number that comes after the second number (the second place after the decimal) and if that number is 5 or above then you round the second number up. (Sorry if it doesn't make sense, but that's the best I can explain it).

A school is building a rectangular soccer field that has an area of 6000 square yards. The soccer field must be 40 yards longer
kogti [31]

Area is 6000 yd2

LW = 6000

field must be 40 yards longer than its width

L = W + 40

Replace L with W+40 in 1st equation to solve for Width

(W+40)(W) = 6000

W2 + 40W - 6000 = 0

This is a quadratic but is factorable

Factors of -6000 that add to 40 are (100)(-60)

(W+100)(W-60) = 0

W = -100   or   W = 60

Since the width will not be negative discard -100

The width is 60 yards

Length is W+40 = 100 yards
