Answer:
The equation of line a is y = x
The equation of line b is y = x
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the proportional is y = m x, where
- m is the slope of the line (constant of proportionality)
The rule of the slope of a line is m = , where
- (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line
∵ Line a passes through points (0, 0) and (3, 3)
∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = 0
∴ x2 = 3 and y2 = 3
→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above
∵ m =
∴ m = 1
→ Substitute in the form of the equation above
∴ y = (1)x
∴ y = x
∴ The equation of line a is y = x
∵ Line b passes through points (0, 0) and (3, 2)
∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = 0
∴ x2 = 3 and y2 = 2
→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above
∵ m =
∴ m =
→ Substitute in the form of the equation above
∴ y = () x
∴ y = x
∴ The equation of line b is y = x
Answer:
BC = 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points:
- A = (2, -2)
- B = (-4, -4)
- C = (-4, -1)
- D = (-2, 3)
- E = (1, 3)
- F = (2, 5)
<u>Plot the points</u> on the coordinate plane (x, y) and connect them in alphabetical order with straight lines (see attached).
From visual inspection of the <u>drawn polygon</u>, we can see that the length of BC is 3 units.
It is fairly simple to calculate the length of BC without plotting the points.
As points B and C have the same x-value, this means that the distance between them is simply the difference between their y-values.
⇒ distance = |-4 - (-1)| = |-3| = 3 units
