Graphs/82964: Can someone please, please show me how to do this?
graph the equations
y=3x
y=x+3
1 solutions

Answer 59539 by tutorcecilia(2152) About Me  on 2007-05-22 10:14:22 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=3x
or
y=3x+0
Compared to the equation of a line formula:
y=mx+b
y=any y value
m=the slope of the line
x=any corresponding x-value
b=the point where the line intersects the y-axis
For y=3x+0,
the line will cross or intersect the y=axis at (0, 0), starting from that point, use the slope of 3 or 3/1. That is, from (0, 0,) go up +3 and over +1 and plot that point (1,3)
From (1, 3) go up +3 and over +1 and plot that point (2, 6).
.
Now for the bottom of the graph, start again at (0, 0), and using the slope
-3/-1 (same as +3), go down -3 and to the left (-1); plot this point (-1, -3).
Repeat this pattern by going down -3 and over to the left -1; plot this point (-2, -6).
.
Connect the lines.
.
y=x+3
or y=1x+3
The slope = 1 or 1/1
The line crosses or intersects the y-axis at (0, 3)
So, repeat the instructions from above, only start at point (0, 3) and go up 1 and over 1, etc.

Linear-equations/82825: How do I calculate the slope of a line graph?
1 solutions

Answer 59423 by tutorcecilia(2152) About Me  on 2007-05-21 13:55:11 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you are given the line in the slope-intercept format:
y=mx+b, the m-term represents the slope
.
If you are given two points (x1, y1) and x2, y2), use the slope formula:
Slope=m=%28%28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29%29%29

Thank you!

Answer 59422 by tutorcecilia(2152) About Me  on 2007-05-21 13:52:13 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are the negative reciprocal of each other:
For example:
if slope #1 = 2, then the perpendicular slope = -1/2
.
Line #1
4x-5y=7 [re-write in the y=mx+b format]
4x-4x-5y=-4x+7
-5y=-4x+7
-5y/-5=-4/-5x+7/-5
y=4/5x-7/5
Slope # 1 = 4/5
.
So, slope of Line #2 =-5/4 [because I flipped 4/5 and multiplied it by (-1)]
y=mx+b [plug-in the values (2, 6) and (m=-5/4) and solve for the b-term]
6=(-5/4)(2)+b
6=-5/2+b
5/2+6=b
17/2=b
Plug-in just the values of the slope and the b-term:
y=-5/4x+17/2


Linear-equations/82836: Identify the slope of each direct variation
1. a. y = 7x b.y= -3x c. y= x d. y= 1/2x

%284x%29%282x-3%29%2B%28%283%292x-3%29%29
%284x%2B3%29%282x-3%29%29 [re-factor again; this factoring works because the groups now have a common factor (2x-3)]


Graphs/82568: Determine which two equations represent parallel lines:
(a)y=-9x+4

1 solutions

Answer 59173 by tutorcecilia(2152) About Me  on 2007-05-18 13:48:01 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lines that are parallel have the same slope. In the y=mx+b formula, the "m" is the slope. So look at each equation and find matching slopes:
(a)and (d) have matching slopes, so these two lines are parallel.

Also, note that the lines have the same slope (2), therefore the lines are parallel and will never intersect.

Answer 59165 by tutorcecilia(2152) About Me  on 2007-05-18 13:02:47 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x+2y=0 [substitute (y=4x+0) for the y-term and solve for the x-term]
.
2x+2(4x+0)=0
2x+2(4x)=0
2x+8x=0
10x=0
10x/10=0/10
x=0
.
solve for the y-term by plugging x=0 back into one of the original equations:
2x+2y=0
2(0)+2y=0
2y=0
2y/2=0/2
y=0
.
check by plugging the values for x and y back into either eiquation and solve:
2x+2y=0
2(0)+2(0)=0
0=0 [checks out].
and
y=4x+0
0=4(0)+0
0=0 [also checks out]

1 solutions

Answer 59161 by tutorcecilia(2152) About Me  on 2007-05-18 12:45:13 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Formula for the perimeeter of a rectangle:
P=2[(length + width)]
P=56
Length=2w+4
Width=w
.
so,
56=2[(2w+4)+w)]
56/2=2/2(2w+4+w)]
28=3w+4
28-4=3w
24=3w
24/3=3w/3
8=w
.
So,
P=56
Length=2w+4 = 2(8)+4=16+4=20
Width=w=8
.
Plugging everything back into the formula for a perimeter:
P=2[(length + width)]
56=2(20+8)
56=2(28)
56=56 [checks out]

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Good job!! I agree with your answer. You correctly initially squared both sides of the equation in order to get rid of the radical; used FOIL on the left side; and solved for the x-term.
.
If your instructor/book wanted you to solve for the x=term, just continue the process:
0=x^2-7x+10
(x-5)(x-2)=0
x-5=0
x=5
or x-2=0
x=2
.
Try plugging each x-value back into the original equation to make sure each solution is a true solution. One of the values of x could possibly be an erroneous solution:
.
%28sqrt%28x-1%29%29=%28x-3%29
Let x=5
%28sqrt%285-1%29%29=%285-3%29
%28sqrt%284%29%29=%282%29[the square root of 4 is either a plus or minus 2]
2=2 [so, x=5 checks out]
.
%28sqrt%28x-1%29%29=%28x-3%29
Let x=2
%28sqrt%28-1%29%29=%28-1%29 [the square root of 1 is either a plus or minus (1). In this case, the (-1) works]
-1 = -1 [ture, so x=2 is also a solution]

Starting at the origin of (0,0) on the graph, go three spaces to the left (-3) and than down three spaces (-3). Plot the point.

For coordinate points, (x, y) the first number tells you how many spaces to move on the x-axis (left or right). The second number tells you how many spaces to move on the y-axis (up or down)

Graphs/82257: how do I graph the inequality y<1?

y<1
First, establish a boundary line by using an equal sign:
y=1 (see the graph:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+1%29+
.
In this case, the boundary line will be a dashed line because the inequality is "less than" "1". If the inequality had been just "less than or equal to", the boundary line would have been a solid line instead.
.
Now, shade every thing below or less than the line (which is everything < 1) since "y" is every point less than the line (see the graph below):

3x=6x-15 [solve for the x-term=
3x-6x=6x-6x-15
-3x=-15
-3x/-3=-15/-3
x=5
[checking:
3(5)=6(5)-15
15=30-15
15=15 [checks out]
.
So, x=5 and
x+8= 5+8=13

Using the formula: y=mx+b;
y=any y-value on the line
m=the slope of the line
x=any corresponding x-value
b=the y-intercept
.
f(x)= f(x)=3x+2
y=mx+b
The slope = 3
The y-intercept = 2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
P=2(length+width)
P=36
Length = 3in more than twice its width = 2 x Width +3 = 2w+3
Width=w
.
P=2(l+w) [plug-in the values and solve for the width(w)]
36=2[(2w+3)+w]
36/2=2/2(2x+3+w)
18=2w+3+w
18=3w+3
18-3=3w
15=3w
15/3=3w/3
5=w
.
checking:
Length = 2w+3=2(5)+3=13
Width=5
.
36=2(13+5)
36=2(18)
36=36 [checks out]

Answer 58920 by tutorcecilia(2152) About Me  on 2007-05-16 11:43:33 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=-x-4 [substitute (a-3) for the x-term and solve as much as possible
f(a-3)=-x-4
f(a-3)=-(a-3)-4
f(a-3)=-a+3-4[multiply through by (-1)
f(a-3)=-a-1
f(a-3)=a+1 [multiply through by (-1)

y=2x-4 [substitute for the y-term in the first equation]
8x-4y=16
8x-4(2x-4)=16 [simplify]
8x-8x+16=16
0+16=16
16=16 [Infinate number of solutions because the equations represent the same line]
