Which of the following is the equation of the vertical line that passes through. (4,6) A. Y=6 B. y=4 C. X=6 D. X=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Equations of vertical lines are always described using x. Since the point is (4,6) , the equation of the vertical line passing through that point should be x=4.

Can u help me with this one? Write an equation in y=mx+b form for the table # of books purchased -1-2-3-4 Cost of book club. -21-30-39-48 A. Y=3x+21 B. y=9x+12 C. Y=5x+21 D. Y=7x+12

Let me see…

I'm thinking that the # of books purchased are the x-values, and "Cost of book club" contains the y-values.

We can get two points from this table which can help us to find the slope.

So I'll choose (1,21) and (2,30) The formula to find the equation using two points is: y-y1=m(x-x1) m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) Label your points so that it will be easy to plug them in. x1=1 y1=21 x2=2 y2=30 So m=(30-21)/(2-1)=9/1=9 Now choose one point and plug into the formula: y-21=9(x-1) Simplify y=9x-9+21 y=9x+12

Thanks again.
