Q. Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points (0,6) and (10,0) ?I. y=53x+6II. 3x+5y=35NeitherI onlyII onlyI and II
Calculate slope: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (0,6) and (10,0). The slope m is calculated using the formula m=x2−x1y2−y1. Here, (x1,y1)=(0,6) and (x2,y2)=(10,0). m=10−00−6=10−6=5−3.
Write equation in slope-intercept form: Use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept formy=mx+b.We already have the slope m=−53, and we can use the point (0,6) where x=0 and y=6.The y-interceptb is the y-value when x=0, which is 6.So the equation of the line is y=(−53)x+6.
Check equation I: Check if equation I, y=53x+6, matches the derived equation.The derived equation is y=5−3x+6, which is not the same as y=53x+6.Therefore, equation I does not represent the line that passes through the points (0,6) and (10,0).
Check equation II: Check if equation II, 3x+5y=35, can be the equation of the line.We can rewrite equation II in slope-intercept form by solving for y.5y=−3x+35y=5−3x+7This equation has the same slope as the derived equation but a different y-intercept.Therefore, equation II does not represent the line that passes through the points (0,6) and (10,0).
Determine correct answer: Determine the correct answer based on the checks in steps 3 and 4. Neither equation I nor equation II represents the line that passes through the given points. The correct answer is "Neither."
