This quiz includes 10 problems covering linear equations, inequalities, slopes, points, and lines. The instructions specify that the quiz is open book and notes, requires showing all work, and must be completed independently. The student must submit the quiz by the deadline, with work typed or scanned, including the student's name. The problems involve finding equations of lines, slopes, intercepts, and analyzing relationships between lines. Each question requires detailed solutions and appropriate graphs. The student must also sign a statement affirming independent work at the end.

Paper For Above instruction

The following is an academic response to the specified problems, demonstrating understanding of linear equations, slopes, lines, and inequalities.

Question 1: Find three ordered pairs satisfying 4y = -28 + 7x and graph the line.

The given equation is 4y = -28 + 7x. First, solve for y:

y = (-28 + 7x)/4 = -7 + (7/4)x

To find three points, choose values of x and compute y:

  • When x = 0: y = -7 + (7/4)*0 = -7
  • When x = 4: y = -7 + (7/4)*4 = -7 + 7 = 0
  • When x = 8: y = -7 + (7/4)*8 = -7 + 14 = 7

Corresponding points are (0, -7), (4, 0), (8, 7). These points satisfy the equation and can be graphed to represent the line.

Question 2: Find five ordered pairs satisfying y = |x + 3| - 2 and graph the line.

The absolute value equation y = |x + 3| - 2 can be evaluated for various x-values:

  • x = -6: y = | -6 + 3| - 2 = | -3| - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1
  • x = -3: y = | -3 + 3| - 2 = |0| - 2 = 0 - 2 = -2
  • x = 0: y = | 0 + 3| - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1
  • x = 2: y = | 2 + 3| - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3
  • x = -8: y = |-8 + 3| - 2 = | -5| - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3

The five points are (-6, 1), (-3, -2), (0, 1), (2, 3), (-8, 3). Plotting these points will illustrate the absolute value "V" shape with vertex at (-3, -2).

Question 3: Write an equation of a line through (5, 6) perpendicular to the x-axis and graph it, including slope.

A line perpendicular to the x-axis is vertical, and its equation is of the form x = a constant. Since it passes through (5, 6), the line's equation is:

x = 5

The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The line is a vertical line crossing x = 5. It has no slope in the traditional sense but is perfectly perpendicular to the x-axis.

Question 4: Given -3x - y = 0, find slope and y-intercept.

Rearranged to slope-intercept form y = mx + b:

-3x - y = 0 → y = -3x

Thus, the slope (m) is -3, and the y-intercept (b) is 0, meaning the line passes through the origin.

Question 5: Find the equation of the line through (-2, -5) perpendicular to 3x + 5y = 17.

First, find the slope of the given line:

3x + 5y = 17 → 5y = -3x + 17 → y = (-3/5)x + 17/5

Slope of the given line is -3/5. The perpendicular line will have slope 5/3 (negative reciprocal).

Using point-slope form with point (-2, -5):

y - (-5) = (5/3)(x - (-2)) → y + 5 = (5/3)(x + 2)

Simplify to slope-intercept form:

y + 5 = (5/3)x + (10/3) → y = (5/3)x + (10/3) - 5

Since 5 = 15/3, subtracting: y = (5/3)x + (10/3) - (15/3) = (5/3)x - (5/3)

The equation in slope-intercept form:

y = (5/3)x - (5/3)

Question 6: Solve compound inequality –23 ≤ -4c + 5

Note: The right side of this inequality appears incomplete; assuming it should be –23 ≤ –4c + 5

-23 ≤ -4c + 5

Subtract 5: -23 - 5 ≤ -4c

-28 ≤ -4c

Divide all parts by -4, remembering to flip inequalities:

(-28)/(-4) ≥ c > (-5)/(-4)

7 ≥ c > 1.25

Rewriting in standard form: 1.25

Solution set: c in (1.25, 7]

Question 7: Solve the inequality 4x - 6 ≥ -6 and 4x - 6 ≤ —)

Given the incomplete second inequality, assuming it should be 4x - 6 ≤ 6:

  • 4x - 6 ≥ -6 → 4x ≥ 0 → x ≥ 0
  • 4x - 6 ≤ 6 → 4x ≤ 12 → x ≤ 3

Solution combined: x satisfies 0 ≤ x ≤ 3. On the number line, these are all x-values between 0 and 3 inclusive.

Question 8: For points (6, -3) and (-6, 3), find the line's properties.

  • a) Slope:

slope (m) = (3 - (-3)) / (-6 - 6) = (6) / (-12) = -1/2

  • b) Point-slope form through (6, -3):

y - (-3) = -1/2(x - 6) → y + 3 = -1/2(x - 6)

  • c) Convert to slope-intercept form:

y + 3 = -1/2 x + 3 → y = -1/2 x + 0 → y = -1/2 x

  • d) Graph the line:

The line passes through the origin with a slope of -1/2, decreasing as x increases. This is straightforward to plot using the intercept and slope.

Question 9: Complete each part: vertical/horizontal lines, slopes of parallel/perpendicular lines, and equations through points.

  • a) Vertical line through (2, -5): x = 2
  • b) Horizontal line through (-2, -7): y = -7
  • c) Slope of a line parallel to 4x + y = -1:

Slope of original line: y = -4x - 1 → slope = -4. Therefore, parallel line has slope -4.

  • d) Slope of a line perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 6:

Rewrite as y = - (2/3)x + 2; slope = -2/3, so perpendicular slope = 3/2.

  • e) Equation of line through (1, -1), parallel to 2x + 3y = 6:

Using point-slope form with slope -4:

y - (-1) = -4(x - 1) → y + 1 = -4(x - 1) → y = -4x + 4 - 1 → y = -4x + 3

Question 10: Determine if lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither based on points.

Line 1 through (-20, 5) and (-4, 7):

Slope: (7 - 5)/(-4 + 20) = 2/16 = 1/8

Line 2 through (-5, 5) and (7, 4):

Slope: (4 - 5)/(7 + 5) = (-1)/12 = -1/12

Since slopes are neither equal nor negative reciprocals, these lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
