Q. Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points (4,5) (4,-5) and (0,3) (0,-3) ?\newlineI. y=12x5 y=-\frac{1}{2} x-5 \newlineII. 2x+4y=8 2 x+4 y=-8 \newlineNeither\newlineI only\newlineII only\newlineI and II
  1. Calculate Slope: Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (4,5)(4, -5) and (0,3)(0, -3). The slope (m)(m) is calculated using the formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}. Here, (x1,y1)=(4,5)(x_1, y_1) = (4, -5) and (x2,y2)=(0,3)(x_2, y_2) = (0, -3). m=3(5)04=24=12m = \frac{-3 - (-5)}{0 - 4} = \frac{2}{-4} = -\frac{1}{2}.
  2. Write Point-Slope Equation: Use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in point-slope form.\newlineWe can use the point (4,5)(4, -5) and the slope 12-\frac{1}{2}.\newlineThe point-slope form is yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1).\newlineSubstituting the values, we get y(5)=12(x4)y - (-5) = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 4).
  3. Convert to Slope-Intercept Form: Simplify the equation from point-slope form to slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b.\newliney+5=12(x4)y + 5 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 4)\newliney+5=12x+2y + 5 = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot x + 2\newliney=12x+25y = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot x + 2 - 5\newliney=12x3y = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot x - 3
  4. Check Equation I: Check if equation I, y=12x5y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 5, matches the derived equation.\newlineOur derived equation is y=12×x3y = -\frac{1}{2} \times x - 3, which does not match equation I.\newlineTherefore, equation I does not represent the line passing through the points (4,5)(4, -5) and (0,3)(0, -3).
  5. Check Equation II: Check if equation II, 2x+4y=82x + 4y = -8, can be simplified to the derived equation.\newlineFirst, we convert equation II to slope-intercept form.\newline2x+4y=82x + 4y = -8\newline4y=2x84y = -2x - 8\newliney=(2x8)/4y = (-2x - 8) / 4\newliney=12x2y = -\frac{1}{2} * x - 2\newlineThis equation also does not match our derived equation y=12x3y = -\frac{1}{2} * x - 3.\newlineTherefore, equation II does not represent the line passing through the points (4,5)(4, -5) and (0,3)(0, -3).
