(a)Find the slope and y intercept of this line.
slope m=-3/4 y-intercept (0,b)=(0,3)
:
(b)Write the equation in slope intercept form.
slope intercept form is highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29 where m=slope and (0,b)= y-intercept:
y=%28-3%2F4%29x%2B3
:
c)Rewrite the equation in standard form.
Standard Form is highlight%28Ax%2BBy=C%29 where A,B,and C are integers, most books insist that A be positive.
y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B3
%283%2F4%29x%2By=%283%2F4%29x-%283%2F4%29x%2B3
%283%2F4%29x%2By=3
4%283%2F4%29x%2B4%28y%29=4%283%29
3x%2B4y=12

d)Draw a line that is perpendicular and write its equation
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
y=%284%2F3%29x%2B5

:
e)Draw a line that is perpendicuar to line in part d, write its equation
y=-%283%2F4%29x%2B2

:
f)Draw a line that is perpendicular to line in part e, write its equation
y=%284%2F3%29x-2

:
g)What shape did you make with your graph?
A Rectangle, rectangles have perpendicular angles.
:
Try this yourself with a different line---it helps to see things develope and recognize equations as lines and rectangles. It gives algebra a purpose.
Happy Calculating!!!
