Two different linear functions are shown below with two points given from each function. Use slope-intercept form or point-slope form to find the equation of each.

Linear Function A

Points: (–5, –2), (–5, 7)

Linear Function B

Points: (7, –5), (–2, –5)

Answer:

The equation of function A is [tex]x=-5[/tex] and the equation of function B is [tex]y=-5[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of a linear function is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Where m is slope.

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

It is given that the function A passing through the points  (–5, –2) and (–5, 7).

The equation of function A is

[tex]y-(-2)=\frac{7-(-2)}{-5-(-5)}(x-(-5))[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\frac{7+2}{-5+5}(x+5)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\frac{9}{0}(x+5)[/tex]

[tex](y+2)0=9(x+5)[/tex]

[tex]0=9(x+5)[/tex]

[tex]0=x+5[/tex]

[tex]x=-5[/tex]

It is given that the function B passing through the points  (7, –5) and (–2, –5).

The equation of function B is

[tex]y-(-5)=\frac{-5-(-5)}{-2-7}(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]y+5=\frac{0}{-9}(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]y+5=0[/tex]

[tex]y=-5[/tex]

Therefore equation of function A is [tex]x=-5[/tex] and the equation of function B is [tex]y=-5[/tex].

Answer:

This is late but the correct answers are

Function A has no slope

The equation of line A is x=-5

Function B has a slope of 0

The equation of line B is y=-5


The other explanation didn't make much sense to me so if anyone needs the answers they're here now lollllllllllllll
