The slope of the line is 0. It passes through the point (-3,4). Identify two other points on the line. Justify you answer
1 answer:
Answer:
Two other points: (2, 4) (6, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A line with a slope = 0 is a horizontal line [with a y-intercept of (0, <em>b</em>)], given by the linear equation, <em>y</em> = 4<em>. </em>This means that the y-coordinate will always equal to 4, regardless of its corresponding x-coordinate. Basically, we could choose any x-coordinate to pair with the y-coordinate of 4.
I chose the ordered pairs, (2, 4) and (6, 4).
Attached is a screenshot of the graphed linear equation, y = 4.

This problem can be solve by graphing (technology), as suggested.
The answer is posted as an attached image. We see that after about 14.75 years, the invading species will surpass the indigenous population.
If it needs to be solved mathematically and accurately, the math is a little more advanced, using the bisection method, or Newton's method.
However, we can also do that by trial and error, starting from 14.75. It is easier than you might think.
Post if you would like to have more information on one or the other methods.
Note: the scale of y has been shrunk by 1000, so each unit on the y-axis represents 1000 frogs.
