(A). -2
(B). 2
(C). 1/2
(D). -1/2

(A). 6/22
(B). -6/22
(C). 22/6
(D). -22/6

10. Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope (1 point)
(5, 2); m = 3

(A). y + 2 = 3 (x - 5)
(B). y + 2 = 3x - 5
(C). y - 2 = 3 (x + 5)
(D). y - 2 = 3(x - 5)

11. Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope (1 point)
(-4, -2); m = -1/2

(A). y + 2 = -1/2(x - 4)
(B). y + 2 = (-1/2)x - 4
(C). y + 2 = -1/2(x + 4)
(D). y - 2 = -1/2(x - 4)

7. D
8. D
9. D
10.C

for 7 & 8 you use the equation
[tex] \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]
your points are (3,8) & (9,5)

so you plug the numbers in
y2= 5
y1=8

x2=9
x1=3
you subtract them get a fraction and that is your slope


9 & 10
use the equation
[tex]y - y1 = m(x - x1)[/tex]
plug you numbers in for y1 and x2 m is your slope plug it in and that is your equation


7. (D). -1/2
8. (D). -22/6
10. (D). y-2=3(x+5)
11. (C). y+2=-1/2(x+4)
