Question1. The tables of ordered pairs represent some points on the graphs of two different lines
Line A: \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hlinexx & 1 & 3 & 5 & 7 & 9 & 11 \\ \hlineyy & 6 & 18 & 30 & 42 & 54 & 66 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
Line B: \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 \\ \hline y\mathbf{y} & 4 & 7 & 10 & 13 & 16 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
Which system of equations represents the graph of these two lines? a. 6x+y=01.5x+y=1\begin{array}{l} -6 x+y=0 \\ -1.5 x+y=1 \end{array} b. y=0x+61.5x+y=1\begin{array}{l} y=0 x+6 \\ -1.5 x+y=1 \end{array} c. 6x+y=0y=x+1.5\begin{array}{l} -6 x+y=0 \\ y=x+1.5 \end{array} d. y=0x+6y=x+1.5\begin{array}{l} y=0 x+6 \\ y=x+1.5 \end{array}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? Which pair of equations matches the data in the tables for Line A and Line B? Watch out! Don't mix up the lines!
Make sure each equation matches the *right* table.

STEP 2

1. Find Equation for Line A
2. Find Equation for Line B
3. Match with Answer Choices

STEP 3

Let's peep at Line A's table!
Notice how when xx increases by **2**, yy increases by **12**.
That means the *slope* is 122=6\frac{12}{2} = 6.
So, we're looking for an equation that reflects this **rate of change**!

STEP 4

Let's **test** this with the first two points.
We have (1,6)(1, 6) and (3,18)(3, 18).
The slope is 18631=122=6\frac{18 - 6}{3 - 1} = \frac{12}{2} = 6.
Awesome!

STEP 5

We can use the *point-slope form*: yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1).
Let's use the point (1,6)(1, 6) and our slope m=6m = 6.
So, y6=6(x1)y - 6 = 6(x - 1).

STEP 6

**Simplify**! y6=6x6y - 6 = 6x - 6.
Add 6 to both sides to *isolate* yy: y=6xy = 6x.

STEP 7

Now, let's **investigate** Line B!
When xx increases by **2**, yy increases by **3**.
The *slope* is 32=1.5\frac{3}{2} = 1.5.

STEP 8

Let's **verify** this with (2,4)(2, 4) and (4,7)(4, 7).
The slope is 7442=32=1.5\frac{7 - 4}{4 - 2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5.
Perfect!

STEP 9

Again, we use the *point-slope form*: yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1).
Let's use the point (2,4)(2, 4) and our slope m=1.5m = 1.5.
So, y4=1.5(x2)y - 4 = 1.5(x - 2).

STEP 10

**Simplify**! y4=1.5x3y - 4 = 1.5x - 3.
Add 4 to both sides to *isolate* yy: y=1.5x+1y = 1.5x + 1.

STEP 11

Our equations are y=6xy = 6x and y=1.5x+1y = 1.5x + 1.

STEP 12

Let's rewrite our first equation.
Subtracting 6x6x from both sides gives us 6x+y=0-6x + y = 0.

STEP 13

Let's rewrite our second equation.
Subtracting 1.5x1.5x from both sides gives us 1.5x+y=1-1.5x + y = 1.

STEP 14

Looking at the answer choices, option (a) matches our equations perfectly!

STEP 15

The correct answer is (a).
