A plane that carries mail makes a round trip each day from Chicago to New York. It makes 2 intermediate stops on the way to New

York and 1 intermediate stop on the way back to Chicago. Suppose you make a graph of the altitude of the plane for one day, with time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis. How many times will the graph touch the horizontal axis?
A. 3
B. 6
C. 5
D. 9

Answer:

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

As going from Chicago to New York the plane makes two intermediate stops.

This means that the graph will touch the Horizontal axis

at initial point when the flight is at Chicago

Next at the first intermediate stop

then at the next intermediate stop

finally after reaching New York

After going back from New York to Chicago

This means that the graph will touch the horizontal axis

first initially at New York
Then at the intermediate stop
Finally on reaching Chicago

but the Point on the Horizontal axis at New York and Chicago is counted twice

Hence, the total times the graph will touch the horizontal axis is 5.

Hence, option: C is correct.

A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a) where p and a are real numbers and p ≠ 0. Describe each of the following. Ex

MissTica

Answer:

Part A) The slope is undefined

Part B) The equation of the line is $x=p$

Part C) None y-intercept

Part D) The slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is equal to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

Describe

A) slope of the line

B) equation of the line

C) y-intercept

D) slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

Part A) slope of the line

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

$(p,a)\ (p,-a)$

Substitute the values

$m=\frac{-a-a}{p-p}$

$m=\frac{-2a}{0}$ -----> the slope is undefined

Its a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

Part B) Equation of the line

we know that

The equation of a vertical line is equal to the x-coordinate of the points through which the line passes.

so

$x=p$

Part C) The y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

The vertical line not intercept the y-axis

so

None y-intercept

Part D) slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

A line perpendicular to the given line is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

therefore

The slope is equal to zero

When solving negative one over five -1/5 (x − 25) = 7, what is the correct sequence of operations

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

$\left( { - 5} \right)
\cdot \left( { - \frac{1}{5}} \right) \cdot \left( {x - 25} \right) = 7 \cdot
\left( { - 5} \right)$

$\left( { - 5} \right)
\cdot \left( { - \frac{1}{5}} \right) = 1$

The correct sequence of operations when solving negative one over five (x − 25) = 7 would be multiply each side by −5, and adding 25 to each side.

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x − 4y = 7 and passes through the point (−4, −2)? Select two options. y

andriy [413]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line parallel to 3x − 4y = 7. Any such line will have an equation of the same form but a different constant.

If the new line is to pass through the point (-4, -2), replace x with -4 and y with -2. We obtain:

3(-4) − 4(-2) = -12 + 8 = -4. Thus, the desired new equation is 3x − 4y = -4.

This could also be written as 3x − 4y + 4 = 0. We could also solve this for y, obtaining:

3x + 4 = 4y, or y = (3/4)x + 1.
