Question

Please help! My answers other than the ones in green are incorrect

A line is parameterized by x = 7 + 5t and y = 6 + 4t. Which of the following points arc on the section of the line obtained by restricting t to nonncgative numbers (for each, enter Y if the point is on the section, and N if not)? Then, give one more point that is on the section of the line obtained by this restriction: What arc the endpoints of the line segment obtained by restricting t to -2 le t le 0? left endpoint: right endpoint: How should t be restricted to give the part of the line to the left of the y-axis (give your answer as an interval for t, for example, (3,8) or [-2, Inf))? t must be in :

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER A : equation obtained by eliminating t is given as

5y-4x=2

but it is given that t>=0

and

        t=(x-7)/5

         t=(y-6)/4

so (x-7)/5 >=0 and (y-6)/4 >= 0

hence x>=7 and y>=6.


so one more point that is on the section of line obtained by restriction is (7,6).


ANSWER B : now t is restricted as :

                     -2< t < 0

   so -2 <=( x-7)/5 < =0 and -2 <=(y-6)/4 <= 0.

        -3 < = x < =7 and -2 <= y <= 6.

left end point will be (-3,-2)

right end point will be (7,6)


ANSWER C : so to give the part of the line to the left of the y-axis

                                  x<0

                               x-7 < -7

                              (x-7)/5 < -7/5

     and x-7/5 = t

hence                     t < -7/5

so t should be restriced to (-Inf , -7/5).
