Answer 174121 by jim_thompson5910(28476) on 2009-11-08 17:30:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given equation.
 Subtract  from both sides.
 Rearrange the terms.
 Divide both sides by  to isolate y.
 Break up the fraction.
 Reduce.
Looking at  we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form  where the slope is  and the y-intercept is
Since  this tells us that the y-intercept is ) .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis
So we have one point
Now since the slope is comprised of the "rise" over the "run" this means
Also, because the slope is  , this means:
which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 1. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 1
So starting at ) , go up 3 units
and to the right 1 unit to get to the next point
Now draw a line through these points to graph
 So this is the graph of  through the points ) and

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Remember that
) ... Start with the given equation.
) ... Plug in
=tan\left(tan^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\right)) ... Take the tangent of both sides.
\right)) ... Evaluate the tangent of 45 degrees to get 1.
 ... Evaluate the tangent of the arctangent of  to get  . In other words, the two cancel out.
 ... Multiply both sides by x.
So the rectangular equation is  .

First let's find the slope of the line through the points ) and
Note: ) is the first point ) . So this means that  and  .
Also, ) is the second point ) . So this means that  and  .
 Start with the slope formula.
 Plug in  ,  ,  , and
 Subtract  from  to get
 Subtract  from  to get
 Reduce
So the slope of the line that goes through the points ) and ) is
Now let's use the point slope formula:
 Start with the point slope formula
 Plug in  ,  , and
 Rewrite  as
 Rewrite  as
 Distribute
 Multiply
 Subtract 6 from both sides.
 Combine like terms.
 Remove the trailing zero
 Simplify
So the equation that goes through the points ) and ) is
Notice how the graph of  goes through the points ) and ) . So this visually verifies our answer.
