Chapter 3: Problem 44
Determine whether each statement "makes sense" or "does not make sense" and explain your reasoning. In many examples, I use the slope-intercept form of a line's equation to obtain an equivalent equation in point-slope form.

Solve for \(y\) and put the equation in slope-intercept form. $$y-3=4(x+1)$$
Find the coefficients that must be placed in each shaded area so that the equation's graph will be a line with the specified intercepts. \(\square x+\square y=10 ; x\) -intercept \(=5 ; y\) -intercept \(=2\)
a. Graph each of the following points: $$ \left(1, \frac{1}{2}\right),(2,1),\left(3, \frac{3}{2}\right),(4,2) $$ Parts (b)-(d) can be answered by changing the sign of one or both coordinates of the points in part (a). b. What must be done to the coordinates so that the resulting graph is a mirror-image reflection about the \(y\) -axis of your graph in part (a)? c. What must be done to the coordinates so that the resulting graph is a mirror-image reflection about the \(x\) -axis of your graph in part (a)? d. What must be done to the coordinates so that the resulting graph is a straight-line extension of your graph in part (a)?
Use a graphing utility to graph in a standard viewing rectangle, \([-10,10,1]\) by \([-10,10,1]\). Then use the \([\text { TRACE }]\) feature to trace along the line and find the coordinates of two points. $$y=2 x-1$$
graph each linear equation in two variables. Find at least five solutions in your table of values for each equation. $$y=-\frac{5}{2} x+1$$
