# Math 105 Exam 2 Practice (Modified)

## Formulas:

$$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

$$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$

$$P(x) = R(x) - C(x)$$

## Question 1. Graph the equation using the slope and $y$-intercept. $y=\dfrac{3}{4}x + 1$

The equation is in $y = mx + b$ form, where $m$ is the slope, and $b$ is the $y$-intercept.  
In this case, $b = 1$ and $m = \dfrac{3}{4}$. Start from the point $(0,1)$ and go right 4 up 3.

## Question 2. Find the $y = mx + b$ form for the equation of the line through $(5, -6)$ with slope $\dfrac{2}{3}$.


$x_1=5$, $y_1=-6$, and $m=\dfrac{2}{3}$.

\begin{align}
y-y_1&=m(x-x_1) \\
y-(-6)&=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-5) \\
y+6&=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-5) \\
y+6&=\dfrac{2}{3}x+ \dfrac{2}{3}(-5) \\
y+6&=\dfrac{2}{3}x- \dfrac{10}{3} \\
y&=\dfrac{2}{3}x- \dfrac{10}{3}-6 \\
y&=\dfrac{2}{3}x- \dfrac{10}{3}-\dfrac{6}{1}  \\
y&=\dfrac{2}{3}x- \dfrac{10}{3}-\dfrac{18}{3}  \\
y&=\dfrac{2}{3}x- \dfrac{28}{3}
\end{align}

## Question 3. Consider the line $3x - 5y = 10$.

### a. What is its slope?


\begin{align}
3x - 5y &= 10 \\
-5y&=-3x+10 \\
\dfrac{-5y}{-5}&=\dfrac{-3x+10}{-5} \\
y&=\dfrac{-3x}{-5}+\dfrac{10}{-5} \\
y&=\dfrac{3}{5}x-2 
\end{align}

The slope is $m=\dfrac{3}{5}$

### b. What is the equation of the line perpendicular to this line through $(2, -3)$?

The slope of a line perpendicular is $m=-\dfrac{5}{3}$.

\begin{align}
y-y_1&=m(x-x_1) \\
y-(-3)&=-\dfrac{5}{3}(x-2) \\
y+3&=-\dfrac{5}{3}(x)  -\dfrac{5}{3}(-2) \\
y+3&=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+\dfrac{10}{3} \\
y&=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+\dfrac{10}{3}-3 \\
y&=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+\dfrac{10}{3}-\dfrac{9}{3} \\
y&=-\dfrac{5}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}
\end{align}
