What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (–p, –q) and (p, q)?

slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (q--q)(p--p)

m = 2q/2p

m=q/p

point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-q =q/p(x-p)

distribute

y-q=q/p *x -q

add q to each side

y = q/p *x

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
