Linear Behavior Lab 3

Section 4.5 and Linear Modeling

 

1.      Find the equation of the line satisfying the conditions given.

a.                         Parallel to  and passing through (3, -1).

b.                        Perpendicular to  and passing through (0, -5).

 

2.      Is the line that contains the points (4, -3) and (2, 5) parallel to the line that contains the points

      (-2, -3) and (4, -1)? Explain your answer.

 

3.      a.   Without graphing, explain how to determine if two linear equations represent parallel lines.

b.   Write an equation of a line, which passes through the origin, and which is parallel to the line  whose equation is .

c.   Without graphing, explain how to determine if two linear equations represent perpendicular lines.

  1. Write an equation of a line, which passes through the point (1, -4) and which is perpendicular to the line whose equation is .
