A horizontal line passes through the point (5, –1). Which point is also on this line? (0, 0)
(–1, 5)
(5, –4)
(–2, –1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal line is a "y =  " line. So the horizontal line that goes through the point given has the equation y = -1 (-1 being the y coordinate of the point). That means that another point on this line, y = -1, will also have to have a y coordinate of -1. The only one is the last one, (-2, -1).

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
