ANSWER

Answer tutorial 4

1. We use the point-slope form of an equation of a line with the point (2,4) and slope
m = 1. Thus y y1 = m(x x1), and
y 4 = 1(x 2)
y 4 = x + 2
y = x + 6.

2. Since the slope m = 0, we know that the line is a horizontal line of the form y = b.
Since the line passes through (3,2), we see that b = 2, and an equation of the line is
y = 2.

3. We use the point-slope form of an equation of a line with the point (1,2) and slope
m = 1/2. Thus y y1 = m(x x1), and



4. We write the equation in slope-intercept form:


From this equation, we see that m = 2/3 and b = 3.

5. We write the equation in slope-intercept form:
3x 4y + 8 = 0; 4y = 3x 8;


From this equation, we see that m = 3/4 and b = 2.

6. Writing the given equation in the form 2

Let x denote the time in years. Since the function is linear, we know that it has the
form f (x) = mx + b.
a. The slope of the line passing through (0, 2.4) and (5, 7.4) is m = (7.4-2.4)/5 = 1
Since the line passes through (0, 2.4), we know that the y-intercept is 2.4.
Therefore, the required function is f (x) = x + 2.4 .
b. In 2003 (x = 3), the sales were f (3) = 3 + 2.4 = 5.4, or $5.4 million dollars.
