To graph a line Intercepts ◦ Identify the intercepts ◦ Plot the intercepts ◦ Draw the line Point-slope ◦ Identify a point on the line and the slope ◦ Plot the point ◦ Count the slope “Rise/Run”

(0,-7) (-7/3,0) Graph using intercepts y = -3x – 7 y-int = -7 x-int = 7 -3

up 3 back 1 (0,-7) down 3 over 1 Graph using intercepts y = -3x – 7 point= (0, -7) slope = -3 / 1

The slope formula m = y 1 – y 2 x 1 – x 2 This is really the same at the point-slope equation m(x 1 – x 2 ) = y 1 – y 2 y 1 – y 2 = m(x 1 – x 2 )

Find the slope given 2 points (-1,1); (2,3) m = 3 – 1 2 – -1 m = 2 3 m = 1 – 3 -1 – 2 m = -2 =

Now write the equation (-1,1); (2,3) m = 3 – 1 2 – -1 m = 2 3 y 1 – y 2 = m(x 1 – x 2 ) y – 3 = 2/3 (x – 2) y = 2/3 x – 4/3 + 9/3 y = 2/3 x + 5/3

If you have two points you can find the line…sometimes the challenge is knowing what you have. Given ◦ The origin ◦ The y-intercept ◦ The x-intercept ◦ A line parallel to the x-axis ◦ A line parallel to the y-axis You have … ◦ the point (0,0) ◦ the point (0,y) ◦ the point (x,0) ◦ the slope m = 0 eqn is y = ____ ◦ The slope m undefined eqn is x = ____

Parallel & Perpendicular II | Parallel slopes are equal m original m || = m o Perpendicular slopes are opposite reciprocals m original m | = -1 / m o

Given 3x + 4y = 12 Find the line || to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). Find the line _|_ to the given line that passes through (-2, 5).

Given 3x + 4y = 12 Find the line || to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). Find the line _|_ to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). If the line is parallel then the slope must be the same so the linear equation will look like 3x + 4y =  If the line is perpendicular then the slope must be the opposite reciprocal so the linear equation will look like -4x + 3y = 

Given 3x + 4y = 12 Find the line || to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). 3x + 4y = ___ 3(-2) + 4(5) = ___ = 14 Find the line _|_ to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). -4x + 3y = ___ -4(-2)+3(5) = ___ 8+15 = 23 3x + 4y = 14 -4x + 3y = 23

Given y = 2x - 12 Find the line || to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). Slope = 2 therefore m || = 2 Find the line _|_ to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). Slope = 2 therefore m _|_ = -1/2 y = 2x + b y = -1/2 x + b

Given y = 2x - 12 Find the line || to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). Find the line _|_ to the given line that passes through (-2, 5). y = 2x + b 5 = 2(-2) + b b = 9 y = -1/2 x + b 5 = -1/2 (-2) + b b = 4 y = -1/2 x + 4 y = 2x + 9

The alternative calculation is to using the point slope form of a linear equation y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) Once you identify the desired slope, you have m then you can substitute the point value for (x 1,y 1 ) y = -3x – 7 parallel through (1,2) perpendicular through (1,2) y – 2 = -3(x – 1) y – 2 = 1/3(x – 1)

Find (e,f)

remember if you can find the blue line you can find the y - intercept then consider the reflection
