Q

How do you find the hidden point in point slope form? y-y=m(x-x)

A

To get your (x,y), take the opposite of the number next to the x to get your x, and take the opposite of the number next to the y to get your y

25
What is the name of the point (0,0) ?
origin
26
What is the equation of a perfect positive diagonal going through the origin?
y=x
27
What is the equation of a perfect negative diagonal going through the origin?
y=-x
28
What does the line y=4 look like?
horizontal (L to R) line through (0,4). up 4.
29
What does the line x=4 look like?
vertical (up and down) line through (4,0), to the right 4.
30
How can you think about the line x=5 to remember what it looks like?
It is all of the points that have an x value of five... so (5, 0), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), etc... straight up and down
31
How can you think about the line y=8 to remember what it looks like?
It is all of the points that have a y value of eight. So (0,8), (1,8), (2,8) ,(3,8), (4,8), (5,8)... All have a height of 8. Horizontal line up 8
32
Name the FORM, name a POINT and name the SLOPE: y = 2/3 x - 5
SLOPE INTERCEPT, (0,-5), 2/3
33
Name the FORM, name a POINT and name the SLOPE: 5x + 4y = 40
STANDARD, (0,10)or(8,0), -5/4
34
Name the FORM, name a POINT and name the SLOPE: y-7 = 1/2 (x+8)
POINT SLOPE, (-8,7), 1/2
35
What is a trick to identify the correct form?
Look at the equal sign. What is to the left? just a y ? then slope intercept a y + or - something? then point slope an X and a Y? then standard
36
What is a way to remember how to plot points like (-2,4) or (7, 8)
WALK x then CLIMB y
37
A slope of 2/3 is (steeper/less steep) than one.
less steep
38
A slope of -5/2 is (steeper/less steep) than negative one.
steeper
39
A slope of 0.0001 is closer to (zero or one)
zero
40
A slope of 5 is closer to (one or undefined)
undefined (straight up and down)
41
What does VERTICAL mean?
goes straight up and down
42
What does HORIZONTAL mean?
goes from left to right
43
What is the origin?
(0,0)
44
WHat does the line y=0 look like?
it is the x axis (all of the points on the x axis have a y value of Zero
45
What does the line x=0 look like?
it is the y axis (all of the points on the y axis have an x value of ZERO)
46
What does the line y=x look like?
Perfect positive diagonal through origin (0,0)
47
What does the line y= -x look like?
Perfect negative diagonal through origin (0,0)
48
What is the equation of the x axis?
y=0
49
Wat is the equation of the y axis?
x=0
50
What does the line y = 1/2 x look like?
through origin (0,0) with slope of 1/2
51
Why are the A, B and C capital letters in Ax+By=C?
They have to be INTEGERS (whole numbers). This means that you won't see 1/2x + 4/5y = 1/3. The A and B and C have to be integers like 4x-2y=9
52
What if a linear equation is not in one of the three forms? What can you do?
Use algebra to rearrange it
