3. Consider the straight line x + y = 1 and the family of straight lines that pass through the origin given by y = mx. As m changes the line rotates about the
origin. Solve these two systems of linear equation and find their points of inter-
section. Is there always a solution - If yes, briefly explain why. If not - for what
a
values of m is there no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two distinct lines will always have a point of intersection, provided they are not parallel. That is, the system of equations {x +y = 1, y = mx} will have a unique solution as long as m ≠ -1.

The solution to the system can be found by substitution:

  x +mx = 1

  x(1 +m) = 1 . . . . factor out x

  x = 1/(1+m) . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x; we must have m ≠ -1

  y = m/(1+m) . . . . find the y-coordinate of the solution

The point of intersection is (1/(1+m), m/(1+m)).

The above solution is undefined when the denominator is zero: m = -1. There is no solution for m = -1.

your answer is the last one

step-by-step explanation:

divide the length of a'c' by the length of ac to get a scale factor of two

& then reflect vertically (over the y-axis)

so your answer is dilation by a scale factor of 2 followed by reflection over the y-axis

-1, -2, -3, -4, -6
