Can Some one check my Pre calc Answers?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Ok, can you show them to us?

@sleepyjess

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

oohhhh vectors, noooo @ganeshie8 should be able to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okayy

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

i think i can help :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that correct?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really ? I guessed it.

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

oh you guessed well let me tell you why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

The vector equation of a line is simply: r = p + ta where r, p, a and are vectors and t is some constant. Here, p is the point that the line passes through and a represents a vector than r is parallel to. So, it's easy now. The vector equation is obviously: r = (-1,6) + t (3,-1) Which just means r passes through (-1,6) and is parallel to (3,-1) .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh okay thanks! I have two more , could you help??

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

um sure :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

x = 9t+2 --> t = (x-2)/9 y = -6t+9 --> t = (9-y)/6 then : (x-2)/9 = (9-y)/6 6x-12 = 81-9y 9y = -6x + 93 y = (-2/3)x + 31/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thankssss it makes sense now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

omg sorry i forgot about this D; @ASDFGHJKLLKJHGFDSAa you still there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahh lol its okay

OpenStudy (loser66):

You said: check, hence, what is your choice?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

i dont know how to graph this, this site could be helpful to you https://www.desmos.com/calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay , And @Loser66 my guess would have to be the first graph

OpenStudy (loser66):

nope, you need turn the parametric equations to Euclidean one that is solve for t, let them equal to get y = something respect to x then look at the graph, which matches your expression Now, first off, multiply the first equation by 2, what do you have?

OpenStudy (loser66):

I mean 2*(x= 8 +4t) ,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=16+8t ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

2x = 16 +8t , right? not just x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh yeah sorry

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, 8t =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8t=2x-16 ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

yup, now the second equation is y =-1+8t hence 8t=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same thing, 2x-16?

OpenStudy (loser66):

nope, redo, just +1 both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (loser66):

y = -1+8t +1 both sides y +1 =8t or 8t =y+1 got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy

OpenStudy (loser66):

Now, combine the 2: 8t= 2x-16 8t = y +1 that is y+1= 2x-16 , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (loser66):

then y =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2x-17 ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

yup

OpenStudy (loser66):

now,everything is down on x, y, right? look at your first graph, look at a specific point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the third graph?

OpenStudy (loser66):

the x-intersection point is (8.5,0) right? that is if x =8.5, then y =0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, check. Oh, I am sorry, your guess is correct, just I was wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can also think of it in this sense... when t = 0, x = 8+4(0) = 8 also, y = -1+8(0) = -1 so the line must go through the point (8, -1) additionally, the change in x w.r.t. t = 4 (if you've had calculus, dx/dt = 4) and the change in y w.r.t. t = 8 (if you've had calculus, dy/dt = 8) so dy/dx = m = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) = 8/4 = 2 now you have a point and a slope to get what you want

OpenStudy (loser66):

I got to go. good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is the third graph?? And thanks alot @loser66 !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pgpilot326

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would it be the 3rd graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because it goes through 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it goes through (8,0)... not (8, -1). where is the point when t = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so which one is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is x when t = 0? what is y when t = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk how to find that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the parametric equations!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 8 + 4t y = -1 + 8t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do i do with that
