Problem: Given A(1, 5); B(6, 2); C(-6, -4); and D(-3, 1) answer the following.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1)Find the slope of line AB.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope using the slope formula: m = \"%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the given points for A & B as follows
\n" ); document.write( "x1=1; y1=5
\n" ); document.write( "x2=6; y2=2
\n" ); document.write( "m = \"%282-5%29%2F%286-1%29\" = \"%28-3%29%2F%285%29\" = \"-3%2F5\" is the slope of line AB
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2)Find the length of line CD. (Round to nearest tenth's place.)
\n" ); document.write( "Use the dist equation: d = \"sqrt%28%28x2-x1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y2-y1%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the given points for C & D as follows
\n" ); document.write( "x1=-6; y1=-4
\n" ); document.write( "x2=-3; y2=1
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28%28-3-%28-6%29%29%5E2+%2B+%281-%28-4%29%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Which is
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"sqrt%28%28-3%2B6%29%5E2+%2B+%281%2B4%29%5E2%29\" = d = \"sqrt%28%283%29%5E2+%2B+%285%29%5E2%29\" = \"sqrt%289+%2B+25%29\" = \"sqrt%2834%29\" = 5.8 is the length of CD
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3)Find the midpoint of line BD. (Express in terms of fractions.)
\n" ); document.write( "Use the mid=point formula: mp = \"%28x1%2Bx2%29%2F2\", \"%28y1%2By2%29%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the BD values as follows
\n" ); document.write( "x1=6; y1=2
\n" ); document.write( "x2=-3; y2=1
\n" ); document.write( "mp = \"%286-3%29%2F2\", \"%282%2B1%29%2F2%29\" = \"3%2F2\", \"3%2F2\" is the mid-point
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "4)Find (a) the slope and (b) the y-intercept of the line with the equation 4x+2y=6.
\n" ); document.write( "Convert to the slope intercept form y = mx-b
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 2y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -4x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "(a) slope: -2
\n" ); document.write( "(b) y intercept + 3
