Solution

Let's analyze and solve the problems shown in the two uploaded images.


Image 1: Problems 13–16

13) How many solutions are there for the system:
y=0.75x2y = 0.75x - 2
y=0.75x+2y = -0.75x + 2
Solution:

  • The slopes (mm) are 0.750.75 and 0.75-0.75, meaning the lines intersect at one point.
  • Answer: One solution.

14) How many solutions for the system:
y=6x+8y = -6x + 8
86x=y8 - 6x = y
Solution:

  • Both equations simplify to the same line (y=6x+8y = -6x + 8).
  • Answer: Infinitely many solutions.

15) How many solutions (based on the graph):

  • The graph shows two lines intersecting at one point.
  • Answer: One solution.

16) Find the slope (graph):

  • Slope (mm) = riserun=63=2\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{-6}{3} = -2.
  • Answer: Slope = 2-2.

17) Write the equation (y=mx+by = mx + b):

  • From the graph, slope m=45m = \frac{4}{5} (rise/run).
  • The y-intercept is b=0b = 0.
  • Answer: y=45xy = \frac{4}{5}x.

18) Find the slope (graph):

  • Slope m=riserun=32m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{3}{2}.
  • Answer: Slope = 32\frac{3}{2}.

19) Calculate the slope for points (5,4)(5, 4) and (4,3)(-4, 3):
m=y2y1x2x1=3445=19=19.m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{3 - 4}{-4 - 5} = \frac{-1}{-9} = \frac{1}{9}.

  • Answer: Slope = 19\frac{1}{9}.

20) Identify slope and y-intercept:
y=3x10y = -3x - 10

  • Slope m=3m = -3.
  • Y-intercept b=10b = -10.
  • Answer: m=3,b=10m = -3, b = -10.

21) Linear or nonlinear?

  • (a) y=3x2y = 3x^2 → Nonlinear (squared term).
  • (b) y=2xy = 2x → Linear.
  • (c) y=5xy = \frac{5}{x} → Nonlinear (reciprocal).
  • Answer: (a) Nonlinear, (b) Linear, (c) Nonlinear.

22) Graph the table:

  • Points: (4,8),(3,6),(2,4),(5,10)(4, 8), (3, 6), (2, 4), (5, 10).
  • Connect for a straight line (linear relationship).
  • Answer: Linear graph.

23) Is this a function?

  • Each input (xx) has a unique output (yy), so yes, this is a function.
  • Answer: Yes.

24) Is this a function?

  • The graph fails the vertical line test, so no, this is not a function.
  • Answer: No.
