Math Problem Statement

  1. (1,2),(3,-4) 2. (3,5), (3,2). 3. (0,-5),(2,-5). 4.(2,-1),(8,3)

Solution

It seems like you're providing pairs of points. Are you looking to find the equations of the lines that pass through these points? Here’s how to approach each pair:

  1. Points (1,2) and (3,-4):

    • Slope (m) = y2y1x2x1=4231=62=3\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-4 - 2}{3 - 1} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3
    • Using point-slope form yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1): y2=3(x1)y=3x+5y - 2 = -3(x - 1) \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -3x + 5
  2. Points (3,5) and (3,2):

    • This is a vertical line since x1=x2=3x_1 = x_2 = 3. The equation is x=3x = 3.
  3. Points (0,-5) and (2,-5):

    • This is a horizontal line since y1=y2=5y_1 = y_2 = -5. The equation is y=5y = -5.
  4. Points (2,-1) and (8,3):

    • Slope (m) = 3(1)82=46=23\frac{3 - (-1)}{8 - 2} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
    • Using point-slope form: y(1)=23(x2)y+1=23x43y=23x73y - (-1) = \frac{2}{3}(x - 2) \quad \Rightarrow \quad y + 1 = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{4}{3} \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{7}{3}

Summary of Line Equations:

  1. y=3x+5y = -3x + 5
  2. x=3x = 3 (vertical line)
  3. y=5y = -5 (horizontal line)
  4. y=23x73y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{7}{3}

Would you like to explore more details about any of these calculations or concepts? Here are some follow-up questions you might consider:

  1. How do you derive the slope from two points?
  2. What are the differences between vertical and horizontal lines?
  3. Can you provide a real-world example of where these lines might apply?
  4. How do you convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?
  5. What would be the effect on the line's equation if the coordinates of the points were changed?

Tip: Always graph the points to visualize the line they create!
