Question 5

Step1: Recall slope formula

The slope \( m \) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \( m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \). Here, \( (x_1,y_1)=(8,-3) \), \( (x_2,y_2)=(6,p) \), and \( m = \frac{3}{5} \).

Step2: Substitute into formula

\( \frac{3}{5}=\frac{p - (-3)}{6 - 8}=\frac{p + 3}{-2} \)

Step3: Solve for \( p \)

Cross - multiply: \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \)
\( -6 = 5p+15 \)
Subtract 15 from both sides: \( 5p=-6 - 15=-21 \)
Wait, there is a mistake above. Let's redo step 2 and 3.
Correct Step 2: \( \frac{3}{5}=\frac{p-(-3)}{6 - 8}=\frac{p + 3}{-2} \)
Cross - multiply: \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \) is wrong. The correct cross - multiplication is \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \) is incorrect. It should be \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \) no, the correct formula is if \( \frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d} \), then \( a\times d=b\times c \). So \( \frac{3}{5}=\frac{p + 3}{-2} \) implies \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \) is wrong. It should be \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \) no, \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \) is incorrect. The correct is \( 3\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \) no, let's do it again.
\( \frac{3}{5}=\frac{p + 3}{-2} \)
Multiply both sides by - 2: \( \frac{3}{5}\times(-2)=p + 3 \)
\( p+3=-\frac{6}{5} \)
Subtract 3 from both sides: \( p=-\frac{6}{5}-3=-\frac{6}{5}-\frac{15}{5}=-\frac{21}{5}=-\frac{19}{5}- \frac{2}{5} \)? Wait, no, 3 is \( \frac{15}{5} \), so \( -\frac{6}{5}-\frac{15}{5}=-\frac{21}{5}=-4.2 \), but the options have \( -\frac{19}{5} \). Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the slope value. The problem says the slope is \( \frac{3}{5} \)? Wait, the original problem says "the slope of the line segment joining A(8, - 3) and B(6,p) is \( \frac{3}{5} \)"? Wait, maybe the slope is \( \frac{3}{5} \) or \( \frac{2}{5} \)? The user wrote "is \( \frac{3}{5} \)"? Wait, the original problem in the image: "The slope of the line segment joining A (8, - 3) and B (6, p) is \( \frac{2}{5} \)". Oh! I misread the slope. The slope is \( \frac{2}{5} \) not \( \frac{3}{5} \).
Let's start over with slope \( m = \frac{2}{5} \)
Step 2: \( \frac{2}{5}=\frac{p-(-3)}{6 - 8}=\frac{p + 3}{-2} \)
Step 3: Cross - multiply: \( 2\times(-2)=5\times(p + 3) \)
\( -4 = 5p+15 \)
Subtract 15 from both sides: \( 5p=-4 - 15=-19 \)
Divide both sides by 5: \( p=-\frac{19}{5} \)

Step1: Find the slope of the perpendicular line

The slope of the line \( y = 2x+3 \) is \( m_1 = 2 \). If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes \( m_1\times m_2=-1 \). So the slope of the line perpendicular to \( y = 2x + 3 \) is \( m_2=-\frac{1}{2} \)

Step2: Use point - slope form

The point - slope form of a line is \( y - y_1=m(x - x_1) \), where \( (x_1,y_1)=(3,-1) \) and \( m = -\frac{1}{2} \)
\( y-(-1)=-\frac{1}{2}(x - 3) \)
\( y + 1=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2} \)
Subtract 1 from both sides: \( y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}-1=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2} \)

• Option A: The relation \( \{(1,1),(2,4),(3,9),(4,16)\} \) can be represented as \( y = x^{2} \), which is a quadratic relation, not linear.
• Option B: The equation \( y = 2x^{2}-4 \) is a quadratic equation (degree 2), so the relation is not linear.
• Option C: For the table, let's check the rate of change. From \( x = 5,y = 4 \) to \( x = 10,y = 6 \), the change in \( y \) is \( 6 - 4 = 2 \), change in \( x \) is \( 10 - 5 = 5 \), rate of change \( \frac{2}{5}=0.4 \). From \( x = 10,y = 6 \) to \( x = 15,y = 10 \), change in \( y=10 - 6 = 4 \), change in \( x = 15 - 10 = 5 \), rate of change \( \frac{4}{5}=0.8 \). Since the rate of change is not constant, it is not linear.
• Option D: Let \( x \) be the number of kilometers and \( y \) be the total cost. Then \( y=0.25x + 4 \), which is in the form of a linear equation \( y=mx + b \) (where \( m = 0.25 \) and \( b = 4 \)), so the relation is linear.

B
