Math Problem Statement

Given graphs and equations, write linear equations in different forms, convert between forms, and determine perpendicularity.

Solution

Let's break this down step by step:

Part 4: Write Equations from Different Representations

  1. Rewriting y3=2(x1)y - 3 = 2(x - 1) in slope-intercept form: Start with the given equation: y3=2(x1)y - 3 = 2(x - 1) Expand 2(x1)2(x - 1): y3=2x2y - 3 = 2x - 2 Add 3 to both sides: y=2x+1y = 2x + 1 Slope-intercept form: y=2x+1y = 2x + 1.

  2. Equation of the line given m=4m = -4 and point (2,6)(-2, -6): The point-slope form is: yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) Substituting m=4m = -4 and (x1,y1)=(2,6)(x_1, y_1) = (-2, -6): y(6)=4(x(2))y - (-6) = -4(x - (-2)) Simplify: y+6=4(x+2)y + 6 = -4(x + 2) Expand: y+6=4x8y + 6 = -4x - 8 Subtract 6 from both sides: y=4x14y = -4x - 14 Point-slope form: y+6=4(x+2)y + 6 = -4(x + 2), Standard form: y=4x14y = -4x - 14.

  3. Equation of the line through (0,0)(0,0) with m=52m = \frac{5}{2}: Using the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, substitute m=52m = \frac{5}{2} and the point (0,0)(0,0): y=52x+0y = \frac{5}{2}x + 0 y=52xy = \frac{5}{2}x Equation: y=52xy = \frac{5}{2}x.


Challenge Question

  1. Line 1: Passes through (7,5)(7, 5) with slope 3-3: Using point-slope form: y5=3(x7)y - 5 = -3(x - 7) Expand: y5=3x+21y - 5 = -3x + 21 Add 5: y=3x+26y = -3x + 26

  2. Line 2: Passes through (7,5)(7, 5) with slope 34\frac{3}{4}: Using point-slope form: y5=34(x7)y - 5 = \frac{3}{4}(x - 7) Expand: y5=34x214y - 5 = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{21}{4} Add 5 (or 204\frac{20}{4}): y=34x+21+204y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{-21 + 20}{4} y=34x14y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{1}{4}

  3. Checking perpendicularity: Slopes of perpendicular lines multiply to 1-1: (3)34=94(-3) \cdot \frac{3}{4} = -\frac{9}{4} Since this is not 1-1, the lines are not perpendicular.

  1. How do you determine the slope of a line from two given points?
  2. What is the standard form of a linear equation, and how is it derived from slope-intercept form?
  3. How do you verify if two lines are parallel?
  4. Can a slope be undefined? If so, what does it represent?
  5. What are the key differences between point-slope and slope-intercept forms?

Tip: Always start with slope-intercept form for simplicity, and convert to other forms as needed.
