Question

Axes

Refer to the above diagram. If the red line passes through the point , what is the value of ?

Answer

One way to answer this is to first find the equation of the line.

The slope of a line. given two points can be calculated using the slope formula

Set :

The line has slope 3 and -intercept , so we can substitute in the slope-intercept form:

Now substitute 4 for and for and solve for :

Question

Line

Refer to the above red line. A line is drawn perpendicular to that line, and with the same -intercept. Give the equation of that line in slope-intercept form.

Answer

First, we need to find the slope of the above line.

The slope of a line. given two points can be calculated using the slope formula

Set :

The slope of a line perpendicular to it has as its slope the opposite of the reciprocal of 2, which would be . Since we want this line to have the same -intercept as the first line, which is the point , we can substitute and in the slope-intercept form:

Question

What are the coordinates of point B?

Graph1

Answer

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is .

Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .

is then the coordinate of the point.

Question

Which point best represents the coordinates ?

Picture1

Answer

The sign in front of each number represents which direction to go on the x or y-axis starting at the origin . If the number is positive you go right on the x-axis or up on the y-axis. If the sign is negative then you move to the left on the x-axis or down on the y-axis.

To get to , move left on the x-axis by , then move up on the y-axis by .
