以下是引用lissaji在2009-1-11 15:41:00的发言:OG里对intercept有解释,x-intercept就是与x轴的交点的x值;y-intercept就是与y轴的交点的y的值;注意不是指截距的概念. 所以A是不对的. B,K的x-intercept只有可能是一个值,所以K的y-intercept=x-intercept也是唯一的.而L的y-intercept如果等于K的x-intercept也是唯一的.但是L的x-intercept没有告之的话不能确定两直线是否垂直.也不对 A+B就发现两直线重合了,所以不垂直,所以可以回答题目的问题. 所以结果应该是C 看了上面的回帖专门回头查了一下OG里面的定义: The x-intercept is the x-coordinate of the point at which the line intersects the x-axis. The x-intercept can be found by setting y = 0 and solving for x. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point at which the line intersects the y-axis. 发现按照这个定义,X-intercept和Y-intercept的确是可以取负值的。这个和新牛津美语大词典中的解释一致:intercept -(Mathematics )the point at which a given line cuts a coordinate axis; the value of the coordinate at that point. 不过美国传统词典当中的解释则和我们原来数学学的截距定义一致:intercept - (Mathematics) The distance from the origin to the point at which a line, curve, or surface intersects a coordinate axis. 因为是距离,所以不可取负。 反正GMAT以OG定义为主,所以这题应该还是选C。——真是学无止尽啊。 |
