16. Coordinates (0, 3) and (-2, -3) based on the graph

Slope = (-3 – 3) / (-2 – 0) = 3

Linear Equation: y = 3x + 3

24. Through (-3, 5) and (1, -6)

Slope = (-6 – 5) / (1 – (-3)) = -11/4

Linear Equation: y = (-11/4)x - 13/4

48. Perpendicular line has slope = -5, therefore the slope of the unknown line is
1/5

Through (0, 0) --- Linear Equation: y = (1/5)x

66. If points (0, -1), (2, 5), and (5, 4) are vertices of a right triangle

Step 1: Get slope of segment joining (0, -1) and (2, 5)

Slope1 = (5 – (-1)) / (2 – 0) = 6/2 = 3

Step 2: Get slope of segment joining (2, 5) and (5, 4)

Slope2 = (4 – 5) / (5 – 2) = -1/3

--- The slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, therefore the two
Segments are perpendicular, making one right angle.

70. Line through (5, 2) with slope = 2/3

y = (2/3)x - 4/3

If x = 8, y = 4; If x = 11, y = 6; If x = 12, y = 20/3

3.3

16. Through (0, 3) and (-2, 0) --- m = 3/2

Linear Equation: y = (3/2)x + 3

 26. y + 4 = -2 (x - 5)

y = -2x + 6

50. y - 1 = (1/4)(x - 6)

y = (1/4)x - 1/2

56. (-3, -1) with slope = 6

y + 1 = 6 (x + 3) --- Linear equation: y = 6x + 17

74. Equation of line through (0, 0) and is perpendicular to the line through
(0, 6) and (-5, 0)

The other line has slope = (0 - 6) / (-5 – 0) = 6/5

Slope of unknown line = -5/6

Linear Equation: y = (-5/6)x

90. Through (-1, -2) and is perpendicular to y = -3x + 7

Slope of the perpendicular line = -3 so that
Slope of the unknown line = 1/3

Linear Equation: y = (1/3)x - 5/3

96. System: y = (1/2)x - 4 and (1/2)x + (1/4)y = 1

Solution Set: (16/5, -12/5)

Answer: INFINITE solutions

96. Let x = population of Marysville in 2000

y = population of Springfield in 2000

x + y = 25,000
1.10x + 1.09y = 25,000 + 2,380

Answer: x = 13,000 , y = 12, 000

98. x + y = -16
x - y =8

Answer: The two numbers are -4 and -12.

100. x = student tickets

2x = adult tickets

(2x)(3) + x(2) = 824

Answer: student tickets = 103, adult tickets = 206

4.2
22. 2x = 2 – y ----- -2x - y = -2
3x + y = -1 3x + y = -1
x = -3
2(-3) = 2 – y
-6 = 2 – y
y=8

26. x – y = 3
-6x + 6y = 17
Answer: Inconsistent
