What is the equation of the line that passes through the points 5 2 and 5 7?
If the line passes through (5, 2) and (5, 7), then the x value stays constant for those two points, and since it is a line, the x value stays constant for the whole line, so the equation of the line isx = 5
What is the difference between a constant and a coefficient?
In a linear equation given as y = mx + c, the c represents a constant. This is because the x- and y- variables don't directly influence it, and it remains exactly what it is - constant - no matter what.The m is the coefficient - the value which provides scale. It also remains constant, but it is coupled to the variable of this equation, x.In the quadratic equation y = ax2+ bx + c, the 'c' here is a constant, and both 'a' and 'b' are coefficients.Both 'a' and 'b' are attached to the variable x, so both are considered coefficients. This rule holds true for all orders of polynomials.(Important note: The letter 'c' is not always used to represent the constant value in an equation, so watch out - so long as it isn't influenced by the variable of the equation, it's the constant.)
Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?
Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.
What are the roots of the quadratic equation below?
That depends on the equation.
A number that stands alone in an equation is called?
A number that stands alone in an equation is called a constant. In algebraic expressions, constants are terms that do not change and have a fixed value. They are typically represented by letters such as "a," "b," or "c" when their specific value is unknown. Constants play a crucial role in mathematical equations and formulas by providing a fixed reference point for calculations and comparisons.
