`q001. Note that this assignment has 2 questions

For the function y = 1.1 x + .8, what are the coordinates of the x = x1 point, in terms of the symbol x1? What are the coordinates of the x = x2 point, in terms of the symbol x2?

What therefore is the rise between these two points, and what is the run?

What is the average slope of the graph between these two points? Be sure to simplify your result.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

coordinates for x=x1 are (x1, 1.1 x1+.8), for x=x2 they are (x2, 1.1 x2 + .8) so the rise is

1.1 x2 - 1.1 x1and the run is x2-x1, and the slope is 1.1

In terms of the symbol x1 the coordinates of the x = x1 point are ( x1, 1.1 x1 + .8) and the coordinates of the x = x2 point are ( x2, 1.1 x2 + .8).

The rise between the two points is therefore

rise = (1.1 x2 + .8) - (1.1 x1 + .8) = 1.1 x2 + .8 - 1.1 x1 - .8 = 1.1 x2 - 1.1 x1.

The run is

run = x2 - x1.

The slope is therefore (1.1 x2 - 1.1 x1) / (x2 - x1) = 1.1 (x2 - x1) / (x2 - x1) = 1.1.

`q002. For the function y = 3.4 x + 7, what are the coordinates of the x = x1 point, in terms of the symbol x1? What are the coordinates of the x = x2 point, in terms of the symbol x2?

What therefore is the rise between these two points, and what is the run?

What is the average slope of the graph between these two points? Be sure to simplify your result.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

x1 = (x1, 3.4 x1 + 7) and x2= (x2, 3.4 x2 + 7)

rise=3.4 x2 - 3.4 x1, run=x2 - x1, slope=3.4

In terms of the symbol x1 the coordinates of the x = x1 point are ( x1, 3.4 x1 + 7) and the coordinates of the x = x2 point are ( x2, 3.4 x2 + 7).

The rise between the two points is therefore

rise = (3.4 x2 + 7) - (3.4 x1 + 7) = 3.4 x2 + 7 - 3.4 x1 - 7 = 3.4 x2 - 3.4 x1.

The run is

run = x2 - x1.

The slope is therefore (3.4 x2 - 3.4 x1) / (x2 - x1) = 3.4 (x2 - x1) / (x2 - x1) = 3.4.
