b. y = −√7
c. What can you conclude about your answer in parts (a) and (b)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) [tex]x=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

(b) [tex]y=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

(c) Answer of part a is equation of line [tex]x=\sqrt{3}[/tex] which is parallel to y axis and in part by equation of line is [tex]y=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] which is parallel to x axis

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given points are [tex](\sqrt{3},\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

(a) Equation of line is given x = -9

We have to find the equation of line parallel to x= -9 and passing through [tex](\sqrt{3},\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

x = -9 line is parallel to y axis and so slope will be infinite

Equation of line is given by [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

So [tex]y-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{0}(x-\sqrt{3})[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

(b) Equation of line is given [tex]y=-\sqrt{7}[/tex]

This line is parallel to x axis so slope will be zero

So equation of line will be [tex]y-\frac{1}{2}=0(x-\sqrt{3})[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

(c) Answer of part a is equation of line [tex]x=\sqrt{3}[/tex] which is parallel to y axis and in part by equation of line is [tex]y=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] which is parallel to x axis
