Day 2: Quiz 2: Answers

Quiz 2: Answers

Question 1: Find the equation of a line passing through (4,12) and (-6,20)


1. The answer is 12= 8 (4)+b 

                       The points are (4,12) and (-6,20).
                                -10
                            a.) The formula to find slope is change in y over change(Change means to subtract) in         X.                                       
                            b.)  20-12=8
                            c.) -6-4=-10. 
                            d.) change in y is 8 and change in x is -10.  
                            e.) the equation to plug these two points in is Y=mx+b. in this case the Y is 12 and x  is 4. 
                            f.)when you plug in these numbers you end up with this is 12= 8 (4)+b.
                                                                                                                              -10

Question 2: Find the equation of a line passing through (5,7) and (1,9).


2. The answer is 7= 1 (5)+b.
                               -2

                           a.) The points are (5,7) and (1,9). 9 minus 7 is 2 and 1 minus 5 equals -4.
                           b.) The slope is  2 , reduced it is  1 
                                                    -4                       -2
                           c.) now plug in the y and x.
                           d.) 7= 1 (5)+b and thats the equation in y=mx+b.
                                    -2

Question 3: Find the equation of a line passing through (8,1) and (-2,3).


3. The answer is 1=1/3(8)+b

                           a.) The points are (8,1) and (-2,3). 3 minus 1 is 2 and -2 minus 8 is -6.
                           b.) The slope is  2  which reduced is  1 
                                                    -6                              -3
                           c.) Plug in the y and x
                           d.) 1= 1 (8)+b
                                    -3
