To draw the graph of a linear equation , two points are more than enough to draw a line.

But sometimes we may commit a mistake and then if we draw the line, everything appears good. As two points shall always define a line irrespective of the points are correct or not.

So in order to make sure that the points we obtained are correct , we take a third point to ensure that the two points calculated earlier are correct and all points lie on the same line. If they don't we have committed some mistake.

Option A) is the right answer

The answer to the question above as to which system of equations can be used to model the situation of Graham and Hunter when a cable lifts Graham into the air at a speed of 1.5 ft/s and Hunter throws the ball from a position of 5 ft. above the ground with an initial velocity of 24 ft/s. the equation will be : H = 18t + 1.5t - 16t ^ 2
H = 5 + 24t - 16t ^ 2

\bf x=rcos(\theta)\qquad \qquad y=rsin(\theta)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
25xy=225\implies xy=\cfrac{225}{25}\implies xy=9
\\\\\\
rcos(\theta)\cdot rsin(\theta)=9\impliedby \textit{common factor}

r[cos(\theta)sin(\theta)]=9\implies r=\cfrac{9}{cos(\theta)sin(\theta)}

Bill's new porch is rectangular, with an area of 50 square feet. If the length of the porch is two times the width, what is the
Gwar [14]
1. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

 A=LxW

 L: The lenght of the rectangle (L=2W).
 W: The width of the rectangle.

 2. Let's substitute L=2W into the formula A=LxW:

 A=LxW
 A=2WxW
 A=2W²

 3. When we clear "W", we obtain:

 W²=A/2
 W=√(A/2)

 4. We already know the value of "A", so:

 W=√(50 ft²/2)
 W=√(25 ft²)
 W=5 ft

 5. Now, we must substitute the value of "W", into L=2W:

 L=2W
 L=2(5 ft)
 L=10 ft

 6. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

 P=2L+2W

 7. We know the value of "L" and "W", therefore:

 P=(2x10 ft)+(2x5 ft)
 P=20 ft+10 ft
 P=30 ft

 W<span>hat is the perimeter of the porch? 
</span>
 The answer is: 30 ft
