Introduction
Hey Everyone,
Here's your assignment for today. Complete the webquest, should be a "brush up" on linear equations for you. We'll continue the conversation tomorrow about parallel/perpendicular Lines.
This is due today, submit your answers through Google Classroom using either Word, or Google Docs.
Good Luck!
Task
You're going to use the guided notes we started Thursday, as well as the online resources given in the Process Page, to answer all of the questions, and complete the examples given.
Submit your answers through Google Classroom using either Word, or Google Docs.
Process

b. What two pieces of information do you need to compute the Point-Slope Formula?
c. What is the Point-Slope Formula?
d. Find the Equation of the line that has a slope of -2, and passes through the point (0,2)
e. Find the Equation of the line that has a slope of 3, and passes through the point (1,-4)
Part 3: Slope-Intercept Form
http://www.coolmath.com/algebra/08-lines/12-finding-equation-two-points-01
a. What is the first step to finding the Equation of a Line, given 2 points?
b. What is the second step to finding the Equation of a Line, given 2 points?
c. Find the Slope of the Line that passes through (-4,5) and (2,-3)
d. Using the Point-Slope Formula, use the Slope found in the question above, and (-4,5) to find the Equation of the Line.
e. Using the Point-Slope Formula, use the Slope found in question c, and the point (2,-3) to find the Equation of the Line.
f. What do you notice about the answers from questions d and e? Why are they that way?
Part 4: Parallel Lines
a. Parallel Lines have __________ slopes?
b. What is the slope of the line that runs parallel to y = 9x + 1?
c. Use the slope found in question b, and the point (2,-2) to find the equation of the line that runs parallel to the line y = 9x + 1 (*Hint: Use the Point-Slope Formula)
d. Find the Equation of the Line that is Parallel to the line y = -4x - 8, and passes through the point (-1,2)
Part 5: Perpendicular Lines
a. Perpendicular Lines have ______________ slopes?
b. What is the slope of the line that runs perpendicular to y = 9x + 1?
c. Use the slope found in question b, and the point (2,-2) to find the equation of the line that runs perpendicular to the line y = 9x + 1. (*Hint: Use the Point-Slope Formula)
d. Find the Equation of the Line that is Perpendicular to the line y = -4x - 8, and passes through the point (-1,2)
