2. Given the line with the equation y= -2, Find three ordered pairs to satisfy the equation. Find the slope of the line. Graph the line.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2 for all values of x.
\n" ); document.write( "eg, (0,-2), (-6,-2), (100,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "It's parallel to the x-axis --> slope = 0
\n" ); document.write( "==============
\n" ); document.write( "3. Given the line with equation x =3, Find 3 ordered pairs that satisfy the equation. Find slope of line. Graph the line.
\n" ); document.write( "Similar to #2.
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel to the y-axis --> slope is infinite, or undefined.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "4. Given the line with equation 2x + 5y =10
\n" ); document.write( "write equation in slope-intercept form. state slope of the line. state y-intercept of line as ordered pair. Use slope-intercept form to graph line.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Slope-intercept means solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 5y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "5y = -2x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-2/5)x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Slope is the coefficient of x = -2/5
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b, where m = slope and b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "y-int = 2 or (0,2)
\n" ); document.write( "===============================
\n" ); document.write( "5. Find slope of line through points (-3,7) and (2,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "Slope m = diffy/diffx
\n" ); document.write( "m = (7 - (-5))/(-3-2) = 12/-5
\n" ); document.write( "m = -12/5
\n" ); document.write( "======================
\n" ); document.write( "6. Write in point slope form, y - y^1 = m (x - x^1), equation of line through the two points given in above question.
\n" ); document.write( "^ is used for exponents.
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m (x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "Use either point.
\n" ); document.write( "y - 7 = (-12/5)*(x + 3)
\n" ); document.write( "=========================
\n" ); document.write( "7. Convert equation that wrote in above question to slope intercept form, y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "y - 7 = (-12/5)*(x + 3)
\n" ); document.write( "y-7 = (-12/5)*x - 36/5
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-12/5)x - 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
\n" ); document.write( "8. convert equation in #6 to standard form, Ax + By = C, A, B, C are integers and A > 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-12/5)x - 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "5y = -12x - 1
\n" ); document.write( "12x + 5y = -1
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "9. Given line with equation 3x-y=5, write equation in point-slope form of line perpendicular to given line through point )3, -2)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Step 1, find the slope m.
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of all lines perpendicular is the negative inverse of m.
\n" ); document.write( "------
