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?
- \(y=0.2x\)
- \(y=\text- 2x+1\)
- \(y=5x-3\)
- \((y-3)=\text- 5(x-4)\)
- \((y-1)=2(x-3)\)
- \(5x+y=3\)

Problem 3
The line which is the graph of \(y=2x-4\) is transformed by the rule \((x,y)\rightarrow (\text-x,\text-y)\). What is the slope of the image?

Problem 4
Select all equations whose graphs are lines perpendicular to the graph of \(3x+2y=6\).
\(3x-2y=4\)
\(2x+3y=6\)
\(2x-3y=8\)
\((y-4)=\frac23(x-6)\)
\((y-2)=\text-\frac{3}{2}(x-8)\)
\(y=\frac23x\)
\(y=\frac32x+3\)

(From Unit 6, Lesson 10.)Problem 7
Select all points on the line with a slope of \(\text-\frac{1}2\) that go through the point \((4,\text-1)\).
\((\text-2, 2)\)
\((0,2)\)
\((4, \text-1)\)
\((0, 1)\)
\((\text-3, 8)\)

(From Unit 6, Lesson 9.)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.
