Which system of equations is represented by the graph? https://lss.brainhoney.com/Resource/22181743,AD2,0,C,3,0/Assets/72222_53b5b0fd/0602_g3_q2.jpg
@freckles please help!
@iambatman Please help me!
@Data_LG2 PLease help
@EclipsedStar Can you please help me!
I see a linear function and a graph whose parent graph looks like that of f(x)=1/x
can you find the line?
that is the easier place to start
notice it's y-intercept and the slope
y=slope*x+[y-intercept]
@vera_ewing can you tell me the line's y-intercept?
are we looking at the same graph/
This is the answer right? y= https://lss.brainhoney.com/Resource/22181743,AD2,0,C,3,0/Assets/72222_53b5b0fd/0602_g3_q2b.gif
the y-axis is that vertical line
do you see where the line hits the y-axis?
0,0?
lol
@freckles
yes that is right
so the y-intercept of the line is 0
\[y=mx+0\] now we need to find the slope of the line
you are given a point on the line (5,5) and (0,0) use this to find the slope
recall slope= \[\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{5-0}{5-0}=?\]
1 @freckles
right so we got the easiest part out of the way the line is y=1x+0 or just let's simplify it to y=x
now the hard part the graph whose parent graph looks like y=1/x
\[y=\frac{a}{x-h}+k\]
so first do you notice the vertical asymptote of the other function drawn there
No I don't understand...what would the answer be?
so you see no imaginary vertical line you can draw where your curve gets closer to it but never touches it?
remember y=1/x has vertical asymptote x=0 and horizontal asymptote y=0 |dw:1428007256221:dw| it is because the curve gets closer to the a imaginary vertical line we call x=0 and an imaginary horizontal line we call y=0
