Answer 1

hi there.

Answer 2

can you help me ?

Answer 3

Sure, but what does this picture have to do with the problem?

Answer 4

well for the first question
Give the coordinates of two points on the line x = 5.
the coordinates are on the picture.
the questions are kinda based on the picture.

Answer 5

Well, if you were to plot the line x=5, it would intersect y=x at (5,-5) and the at (5, -4)

Answer 6

Also, the line that says y=3 on the graph is incorrect, that line is actually y=-4

Answer 7

And the line that says y=x is actually y=-x, So I don't understand what's going on .

Answer 8

uhm, which answer goes with which question ?

Answer 9

im a lil confused.

Answer 10

Nevermind, lets just focus on number 1. It asks for two points that lie on the x=5 line. Two points can be (5,0) and (5, 1).

Answer 11

Now for question 2. Two points that lie on y=-2 are (0, -2) and (1, -2).

Answer 12

Do you follow so far?

Answer 13

yess :) i was a lil confused but im good now :)

Answer 14

The picture just seemed like irrelevant information that confused me.

Answer 15

hmm, i thought it was referring to the coordinates on the graph, but i guess not. okay it was irrelevant. sorry lol

Answer 16

Now for number 3. An horizontal line that passes through the point (-1, -8) would be y=-8.

Answer 17

for number 4, x=3 is the proper equation.

Answer 18

it wouldnt be x = 1 ?

Answer 19

No

Answer 20

Its asking for a vertical line.

Answer 21

oh i see. okay, so what about number 5

Answer 22

Its a vertical line with an undefined slope.

Answer 23

okay and number 6 ?

Answer 24

What do you think number 6 is?

Answer 25

i think its vertical, because it is on the x-axis. right ?

Answer 26

Not exactly.

Answer 27

oh ? sorry im not good at algebra.

Answer 28

Thats fine.

Answer 29

Its a horizontal line with a slope of 0

Answer 30

so could you explain to me what it would be ?

Answer 31

oh okay

Answer 32

Did you figure out what the picture was for?

Answer 33

yes it was step one in my project. i just thought i went with these questions. thanks for your concern :)

Answer 34

best responce rewarded :)
