3 Find the equations of the line with the given properties I
3) Find the equations of the line with the given properties. In each case write the final answer using point-slope form. Graph each line.
a) passing through ( 4, 4 ) and perpendicular to the graph of 3y+2x= -6
b) passing through ( -1, 6 ) and parallel to the graph of 2y-6x= 4
Solution
3 a) passing through ( 4, 4 ) and perpendicular to the graph of 3y+2x= -6
y= -2x/3 -6/3
y = -2x/3 - 2
Slope of the line shall be : m = 3/2
Std slope intercept equation: y= mx+c ---> y= 3x/2 +c
Letbfind c from the given point ( 4, 4)
4 = 6 +c
c =-2
y = 3x/2 -2 Equation of line
b) passing through ( -1, 6 ) and parallel to the graph of 2y-6x= 4
2y -6x =4
y = 3x +4/3
Slope of line shall be m = 3. So, y = 3x+c
Lets find c from the given point ( -1,6)
y = 3x+c ---- 6 = -3 +c
c=9
y = 3x +9 Equation of line
