(a)Find the slope and y intercept of this line.
slope m=-3/4 y-intercept (0,b)=(0,3)
:
(b)Write the equation in slope intercept form.
slope intercept form is where m=slope and (0,b)= y-intercept:

:
c)Rewrite the equation in standard form.
Standard Form is where A,B,and C are integers, most books insist that A be positive.

:
d)Draw a line that is perpendicular and write its equation
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

:
e)Draw a line that is perpendicuar to line in part d, write its equation

:
f)Draw a line that is perpendicular to line in part e, write its equation

:
g)What shape did you make with your graph?
A Rectangle, rectangles have perpendicular angles.
:
Try this yourself with a different line---it helps to see things develope and recognize equations as lines and rectangles. It gives algebra a purpose.
Happy Calculating!!!
