FORUM DESCRIPTION The Mercy College office started with one old copy machine. After a while, they bought a new
copy machine. The new copy machine can xerox one box of student files in 1 hour. The old
machine can xerox the same amount of paper in 3 hours.
How long will it take to xerox one box of student papers if Mercy College office runs both copy
machines at the same time?
How can you be sure that your answer is right?

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point. –3x – 6y = 17; (6, 3) y = x – 9 y = 2x – 9 y = –2x – 9 y = x + 0 3. is the relationship shown by the data linear? if so, model the data with an equation. x y 1 5 5 10 9 15 13 20 the relationship is linear; y – 5 = (x – 1). the relationship is not linear. the relationship is linear; y – 5 = (x – 1). the relationship is linear; y – 1 = (x – 5). write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (–10, –1); m = y + 10 = (x + 1) y – 1 = (x – 10) y – 1 = (x + 10) y + 1 = (x + 10) 5. write an equation for each translation of . 6.5 units up y + 6.5 = | x | y = | 6.5 x | y = | x | + 6.5 y = | x | – 6.5 6. write an equation for each translation of . 5.5 units right y = | x | + 5.5 y = | x – 5.5 | y = | x | – 5.5 y = | x + 5.5 | 7. which equation translates y = | x | by 8 units to the left? y = | x | – 8 y = | x | + 8 y = | x – 8| y = | x + 8|
