You appear to be on a device with a "narrow" screen width (i.e. you are probably on a mobile phone). Due to the nature of the mathematics on this site it is best viewed in landscape mode. If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (you should be able to scroll/swipe to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.
Section 3.2 : Lines
For problems 1 & 2 determine the slope of the line containing the two points and sketch the graph of the line.
- \(\left( { - 2,4} \right),\,\,\,\left( {1,10} \right)\) Solution
- \(\left( {8,2} \right),\,\,\,\left( {14, - 7} \right)\) Solution
For problems 3 – 5 write down the equation of the line that passes through the two points. Give your answer in point-slope form and slope-intercept form.
- \(\left( { - 2,4} \right),\,\,\,\left( {1,10} \right)\) Solution
- \(\left( {8,2} \right),\,\,\,\left( {14, - 7} \right)\) Solution
- \(\left( { - 4,8} \right),\,\,\,\left( { - 1, - 20} \right)\) Solution
For problems 6 & 7 determine the slope of the line and sketch the graph of the line.
For problems 8 & 9 determine if the two given lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither.
- \(\displaystyle y = \frac{3}{7}x + 1\) and \(3y + 7x = - 10\) Solution
- \(8x - y = 2\) and the line containing the two points \(\left( {1,3} \right)\)and \(\left( {2, - 4} \right)\). Solution
- Find the equation of the line through \(\left( { - 7,2} \right)\) and is parallel to the line \(3x - 14y = 4\). Solution
- Find the equation of the line through \(\left( { - 7,2} \right)\) and is perpendicular to the line \(3x - 14y = 4\). Solution
