Question Prompt: Question prompt: Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points (−3,0) and (9,8)?
Calculate Slope: First, let's find the slopem of the line that passes through the points (−3,0) and (9,8) using the slope formula m=x2−x1y2−y1.
Check Equation I: Using the points (−3,0) and (9,8), we calculate the slope as follows:m=9−(−3)8−0=128=32.
Check Equation I: Now, let's check equation I, y=32x+3, to see if it passes through both points. We will substitute the x-values of the points into the equation and see if we get the corresponding y-values.
Check Equation II: For point (−3,0), substituting x=−3 into equation I gives us y=(32)(−3)+3=−2+3=1. This does not equal the y-value of the point, which is 0. Therefore, equation I does not pass through the point (−3,0).
Rewrite Equation II: For point (9,8), substituting x=9 into equation I gives us y=(32)(9)+3=6+3=9. This does not equal the y-value of the point, which is 8. Therefore, equation I does not pass through the point (9,8).
Check Equation II: Now, let's check equation II, 4x−6y=−12. We can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) to make it easier to compare with the slope we found earlier.
Check Equation II: To rewrite equation II in slope-intercept form, we solve for y:4x−6y=−12−6y=−4x−12y=(64)x+2y=(32)x+2.
Check Equation II: To rewrite equation II in slope-intercept form, we solve for y: 4x−6y=−12 −6y=−4x−12 y=64x+2 y=32x+2.Now, let's check if equation II in the form y=32x+2 passes through both points. We will substitute the x-values of the points into the equation and see if we get the corresponding y-values.
Check Equation II: To rewrite equation II in slope-intercept form, we solve for y: 4x−6y=−12 −6y=−4x−12 y=64x+2 y=32x+2.Now, let's check if equation II in the form y=32x+2 passes through both points. We will substitute the x-values of the points into the equation and see if we get the corresponding y-values.For point (−3,0), substituting x=−3 into equation II gives us 4x−6y=−120. This equals the y-value of the point, which is 4x−6y=−122. Therefore, equation II passes through the point (−3,0).
Check Equation II: To rewrite equation II in slope-intercept form, we solve for y: 4x−6y=−12 −6y=−4x−12 y=64x+2 y=32x+2.Now, let's check if equation II in the form y=32x+2 passes through both points. We will substitute the x-values of the points into the equation and see if we get the corresponding y-values.For point (−3,0), substituting x=−3 into equation II gives us 4x−6y=−120. This equals the y-value of the point, which is 4x−6y=−122. Therefore, equation II passes through the point (−3,0).For point 4x−6y=−124, substituting 4x−6y=−125 into equation II gives us 4x−6y=−126. This equals the y-value of the point, which is 4x−6y=−128. Therefore, equation II passes through the point 4x−6y=−124.
