Introduction

Calculus and algebra are fundamental components of higher mathematics that form the basis for understanding more complex mathematical concepts and real-world applications. This paper addresses the specified problems from a College Algebra quiz, focusing on techniques such as using point-slope form to find equations of lines, graphing linear equations, calculating intercepts, and analyzing the relationships between lines—parallelism and perpendicularity. All solutions include detailed work, explanations, and correct mathematical formatting.

Problem 1: Using Point-Slope Form

Suppose the problem provides a point and a slope, for example, point (2, 3) and slope 4. The point-slope form of a line's equation is:

\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

Substituting the given point and slope:

\[ y - 3 = 4(x - 2) \]

Simplify to slope-intercept form:

\[ y - 3 = 4x - 8 \]

\[ y = 4x - 8 + 3 \]

\[ y = 4x - 5 \]

This is the slope-intercept form. To convert to general form:

\[ y = 4x - 5 \]

\[ 4x - y - 5 = 0 \]

Final answers:

- Slope-intercept form: y = 4x - 5

- General form: 4x - y - 5 = 0

Graph of the Line

Graph showing points (-1, -9), (0, -5), and (2, 3) on the line y=4x-5

To graph this line, plot at least three points:

- When \(x=0\), \(y=-5\)

- When \(x=1\), \(y=4(1)-5=-1\)

- When \(x=-1\), \(y=4(-1)-5=-9\)

Plot these points and draw a line passing through them.

Problems #36 and #40

Assuming problem #36 involves solving a quadratic or linear equation, and #40 involves standard form or some other operation as per textbook instructions, the exact solutions depend on provided equations. The process typically involves isolating variables, applying factoring, or using quadratic formulas.

For demonstration, suppose #36 requires solving \(2x + 3 = 7\):

\[ 2x + 3 = 7 \]

\[ 2x = 4 \]

\[ x = 2 \]

And for #40, suppose it involves solving a quadratic \(x^2 - 5x + 6=0\):

\[ x^2 - 5x + 6=0 \]

Factor:

\[ (x - 2)(x - 3)=0 \]

\[ x=2 \quad \text{or} \quad x=3 \]

Verify solutions in context and ensure completeness based on the textbook instructions.

Problem #50: Intercepts

Suppose the line equation is \(4x - y - 5=0\).

- X-intercept: Set \(y=0\):

\[ 4x - 0 - 5=0 \Rightarrow 4x=5 \Rightarrow x=\frac{5}{4} \]

- Y-intercept: Set \(x=0\):

\[ 4(0)- y - 5=0 \Rightarrow - y = 5 \Rightarrow y= -5 \]

Answers:

- X-intercept: \(\left(\frac{5}{4}, 0\right)\)

- Y-intercept: \((0, -5)\)

If the line is vertical (\(x=k\)) or horizontal (\(y=k\)), the intercepts are straightforward as the points where the line crosses the axes. If there is no intercept, DNE can be noted.

Problem #72: Line Relationship

Suppose the equations of lines L1 and L2 are:

\[ L1: y=2x+3 \]

\[ L2: y=-\frac{1}{2}x - 4 \]

First, determine the slopes:

- Slope of L1: \(m_1=2\)

- Slope of L2: \(m_2=-\frac{1}{2}\)

Since their slopes are negative reciprocals (\(2 \times -\frac{1}{2} = -1\)), the lines are perpendicular.

Supporting work:

\[

m_1 \times m_2 = 2 \times -\frac{1}{2} = -1

\]

By definition, if the slopes are negative reciprocals, the lines are perpendicular.

Conclusion:

The lines L1 and L2 are perpendicular because their slopes are negative reciprocals.

Supporting statement:

"The lines L1 and L2 are perpendicular because their slopes are negatives reciprocals, satisfying the condition for perpendicular lines."

Conclusion

This comprehensive analysis applied various algebraic techniques to find line equations, graph lines, compute intercepts, and analyze relationships between lines. Clearly showing work, labeling, and proper formatting are essential in communicating mathematical understanding. These methods are fundamental in algebra and further mathematical studies.
