for each pair of points below think about the line that joins them. for which pairs is the line parallel to the x-axis?

Sagot :

Pair of points representing parallel line to the x-axis from the given pairs is equal to (3.2, 7) and (5, 7).

As given in the question,

Line parallel to the x-axis has slope = 0

Calculate the slope of each pair of points :

a. (3.2, 7) and (5, 7)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/ (x₂ - x₁)

          = ( 7- 7) / ( 5 - 3.2)

          = 0

Pair of points represents parallel line to x-axis.

b. (8, 8.4) and (8, 8.8)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/ (x₂ - x₁)

          = ( 8.8- 8.4) / ( 8 - 8)

          = not defined

Pair of points is not parallel to x-axis.

c. (6 1/2, 12) and (6.2, 11)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/ (x₂ - x₁)

          = ( 11- 12 / ( 6.2 - 6.5)

          = 1/ 0.3

         = 10/3

Pair of points is not parallel to x-axis.

Therefore, pair of points represents parallel line to x-axis is equal to

(3.2, 7) and (5, 7).

The complete question is:

For each pair of points below, think about the line that joins them. For which pairs is the line parallel to the x-axis? Circle your answer(s). Without plotting them, explain how you know.

a. (3.2, 7) and (5, 7)

b. (8, 8.4) and (8, 8.8)

c. (6 1/2, 12) and (6.2, 11)
