Question 80689: I've been trying to figure a few of these equations all day, but I can't seem to understand the how to find the slopes and graphs and I'm getting more homework than I can keep up with. Also is there a more simple explanation of how to find whether points are parallel or perpendicular? Is there a way I can get some one on one tutoring, either from here or another program?
-find the slope of any line perpendicular to the line through points (0,5) and
(-3,-4)
-Floor plans for a building have the four corners of a room at the points (2,3),(11,6),(-3,18) and (8,21).
Determine whether the side through the points(2,3) and (11,6) is perpendicular to the sides through the points (2,3) and (-3,18).

Question 80854: Here is the question as stated (this is not from a textbook, and I can't find an explanation for a problem like it in any textbooks I have):
"Write an equation in standard form for the line parallel to x - 2y + 7 = 0 and contains the point (-4,0)."
I am just unsure how to solve this problem. I have converted problems from slope intercept form to standard, and standard to slope intercept, but there hasn't been an extra component (like the +7 in this one.) I am also not sure how to do this when I only have one set of coordinates. I tried figuring out the value of x and the value of y by (if x=0 then y=?, and if y = 0 then x=?) but I have two problems. One is, the numbers I get (x= -7 and y= -7/2) don't make the problem true. And even if they did, I don't know how to use them to help me make the original equation a line parallel to another point. Help!

Question 80938: The problem I have--not from a text book--is this:
"Draw the graph of the linear function n(x) = 0"
On this one, I am totally lost. Other than understanding there is a "0" point on the y axis, I don't know what I am supposed to do. Help!

Question 81142: L has intercept (0,2) and is perpendicular to the line with the equation 2x-3y=6 This equation has to be written with the equation of the line L satisfying the given geometric condition. This equation makes absolutly no sense.
- In planning for a new item, a manufacturer assumes that the number of items produced is x and the cost in dollars C of producing these items are related by a linear equation. Projections are that 100 items will cost $10,000 to produce and that 300 items will cost $22,000 to produce. Find the equation that relates C and x.
Thank you if you can help!!!

Question 81595: help please if you could show me what formula to use it would be easier for me to understand how to read story problems Thank You. The directions are to write a system of inequalities representing this situation, where x is the number of scarves and y is the number of sweaters. Then graph the system of inequalities:
A home-based company produces both hand-knitted scarves and sweaters. The scarves take 2 hours of labor to produce, and the sweaters take 14 hours. The labor available is limited to 40 hours per week, and the total production capacity is 5 times per week.

Question 81636: Convert 43/6 to a mived number.
This one I'm a bit confused, b2 – 2bc + c2 if b = 3 and c = –2.
with the 2bc, do I multiply the three numbers together, or do I do each one seperate.
combine like terms.
5w + 5x – 9w- how do i figure out what goes where. I'm trying to understand if the w and x represent something or I'm supposed to complete the equation as if they werent there.
Use the indicated property to write an expression that is equivalent to the following expression.

Question 81664: I can't seem to fully understand how to get through the whole process to the answer.
in the book the problem states as follows:
5y-3x=15
let y=0 5y-3x =15
5(0)-3x =15
-3x =15
x =15
let x=0 5y-3x =15
5y-3(0)=15
5y =15
y =3
let y=6 5(6)-3x =15
30-3x =15
-3x = - 15
- 15
x = -15/-3 or 5
okay, this is the example in the book. I don’t understand where the uses of the 6 as y comes in. Please help. thank you.

Question 81637: I'm learning how to write my "results" in slope-intercept form. And I'm having a little difficulty trying to get these worked out and was wondering if I could get some assistance.
(0,5),m= -3/5
(-1,3) and (4,-2)
(2,-3) and (2,4)
I could really use the step by step process of how to do this, if possible. Thank you.
