1. find the equation of the line passing through points (6,-1) and (5,2). write your answer in slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (2--1)/(5-6) = -3/1 = -3
\n" ); document.write( "intercept: 2 = -3*5 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 17
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3 -17\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2. find the equation of the line passing through (-3,10) that is perpendicular to the line y=(-3/2)x+4 and graph the line
\n" ); document.write( "The given line has slope = -3/2
\n" ); document.write( "Any perpendicular line must have slope = 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "intercept : 10 = (2/3)(-3) = b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 12
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (2/3)x + 12
