Answer:
A: x = -5
B: y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Function A:
(-5, -2), (-5, 7) It's not a function, because for x = -5 we have two different values of y!
The graph is a vertical line x = -5
Function B:
(7, -5), (-2, -5) It's a function.
The graph is a horizontal line y = -5
The slope-intercept form of a linear function is [tex]y = mx + c[/tex].
- The equation of function A is: [tex]x = -5[/tex].
- The equation of function B is: [tex]y = -5[/tex]
Linear function A
The points are given as: (-5, -2) and (-5,7)
First, we calculate the slope (m) of the line
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m = \frac{7--2}{-5--5}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{9}{0}[/tex]
[tex]m = und efine d[/tex]
The slope implies that, the point is a vertical line that passes through [tex]x = -5[/tex]
So, the equation is:
[tex]x = -5[/tex]
Linear function B
The points are given as: (7,-5) and (-2,-5)
First, we calculate the slope (m) of the line
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m = \frac{-5--5}{-2-7}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{0}{-9}[/tex]
[tex]m = 0[/tex]
The slope implies that, the point is a horizontal line that passes through [tex]y = -5[/tex]
So, the equation is:
[tex]y = -5[/tex]
See attachment for the graph of both functions.
