Q. Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points (5,−7) and (0,−8) ?I. x+5y=40II. y=51x−10NeitherI onlyII onlyI and II
Calculate Slope: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (5,−7) and (0,−8). The slope m is calculated using the formula m=x2−x1y2−y1. Here, (x1,y1)=(5,−7) and (x2,y2)=(0,−8). m=0−5−8−(−7)=−5−8+7=−5−1=51.
Write Point-Slope Equation: Use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in point-slope form.We can use the point (5,−7) and the slope 51.The point-slope form is y−y1=m(x−x1).Substituting the values, we get y−(−7)=(51)(x−5).
Convert to Slope-Intercept Form: Simplify the equation to get it into slope-intercept formy=mx+b.y+7=51x−51⋅5y+7=51x−1Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate y.y=51x−1−7y=51x−8
Check Given Equations: Check if the equation y=51x−8 matches any of the given equations.Equation I: x+5y=40Equation II: y=51x−10The equation we derived, y=51x−8, matches neither Equation I nor Equation II exactly.
Verify Equation I: Verify if Equation I or Equation II passes through both given points.For Equation I: x+5y=40Substitute point (5,−7) into the equation: 5+5(−7)=5−35=−30, which does not equal 40.Substitute point (0,−8) into the equation: 0+5(−8)=−40, which does equal 40.So, Equation I does not pass through both points.
Verify Equation II: Verify if Equation II passes through both given points.For Equation II: y=51x−10Substitute point (5,−7) into the equation: −7=(51)∗5−10=1−10=−9, which does not equal −7.Substitute point (0,−8) into the equation: −8=(51)∗0−10=0−10=−10, which does not equal −8.So, Equation II does not pass through both points.
