Write the equation for the given graph. 8,8,-8
Do not have graph.
To write the equation for the given graph, we need to determine the relationship between the x-values and the y-values. In this case, we have three points: (8, 8), (-8, ?), and (?, -8). Since we are given that the y-value is -8 for one of the points, let's find the x-value for this point.
Looking at the x-values, we see that the first point has an x-value of 8. Since the x-value remains the same for the other point, we can conclude that the x-value for the point with a y-value of -8 is also 8.
Therefore, we have two points now: (8, 8) and (8, -8). To write the equation for the given graph, we can use the general equation of a line, which is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
To find the slope (m), we'll take the difference in the y-values and divide it by the difference in the x-values:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (-8 - 8) / (8 - 8)
m = -16 / 0
The slope, in this case, is undefined because we have two points with the same x-coordinate. This indicates that the graph is a vertical line.
Since the line is vertical and passes through the point (8, 8), the equation for the given graph can be written as x = 8.
