What is the slope of the line through the points (1, 5) and (3, 7)?
3.
What is the slope of the line with equation 3x – 6y = 12?
4.
Give an example of two parallel lines; one with y intercept 5 and one passing
through the point ( – 1, – 1). Put the equations in slope intercept form. (note:
you get to choose the slopes). Why are you sure they’re parallel?
5.
What do you know about lines that intersect at angles other than ninety degrees?
Give an example of two such lines writing the equations for them in general form.
6.
Two lines are parallel if their slopes multiply to –1. This is a true statement. Why
is it true? Show by an example that you understand this way of expressing the
situation.
7.
Write an equation in general form for the line that passes through (1, 2) and
( – 2, – 5). Be sure to follow the convention that the coefficient of x is a natural
number.
