Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the
given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation.
- ( 1 ,3 );y = 3x + 2 8. (2, - 2 ) ; y = - x - 2
4b See Problem 1.
- (2, - l ) ; y = - f * + 6 11. (0 ,0 );y = f x + 1
9. (1, —3 );y + 2 = 4(x — 1) - (4,2); x = -3
Determine whether the graphs of the given equations are parallel,
perpendicular, or neither. Explain.
See Problem 2.
- y = x + 11
y = - x + 2 - y — 4 = 3(x + 2)
2x + 6y = 10
14. y = 4 *- 1
y = | x + 29
17. y = - 7
15. y = - 2 x + 3
2x + y = 7
18. y = 4 x - 2- x + 4y = 0

Determine whether each statement is always, sometimes, or never tru e. Explain. - A horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis.
- Two lines with positive slopes are parallel.
- Two lines w ith the sam e slope an d different y-intercepts are perpendicular.
- Reasoning For an arithm etic sequence, the first term is A (l) = 3. Each successive
term adds 2 to th e previous term. A nother arithm etic seq u en ce has the
