Lesson 12

It’s All on the Line

Problem 1

For each equation, is the graph of the equation parallel to the line shown, perpendicular to the line shown, or neither?

graph on line L, y intercept of 1 and slope of 1 over 5
  1. \(y=0.2x\)
  2. \(y=\text- 2x+1\)
  3. \(y=5x-3\)
  4. \((y-3)=\text- 5(x-4)\)
  5. \((y-1)=2(x-3)\)
  6. \(5x+y=3\)

Problem 8

One way to define a circle is that it is the set of all points that are the same distance from a given center. How does the equation \((x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\) relate to this definition? Draw a diagram if it helps you explain.
