2. OBJECTIVE 1

7. Find the slope of the line containing the points (–1, 4) and (2, –3).

8. Adjust the selections for Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax by setting the ratio of x to y at 3:2.

11. These figures also illustrate that the closer the line is to the vertical position, the greater the magnitude of the slope.

12. OBJECTIVE 2

13. Draw a graph of the line that contains the point (1, 4) and has a slope of:

15. Graph the equation x = – 2

17. OBJECTIVE 4

19. Find the equation of a line with slope – 3 and containing the point (– 1, 4).

20. Find an equation of the horizontal line containing the point (– 4, – 1).

22. OBJECTIVE 5

23. Find an equation of the line L containing the points (–1, 4) and (3, –1). Graph the line L.

24. OBJECTIVE 6

28. OBJECTIVE 7

29. Find the slope m and y-intercept b of the equation 3x – 2y = 6. Graph the equation.

30. OBJECTIVE 8

32. Graph the linear equation 3x + 2y = 6 by finding its intercepts.

33. OBJECTIVE 9

36. Find an equation for the line that contains the point (4, – 1) and is parallel to the line – 3x + 5y = 1. By hand, graph the two lines.
