Question

1.In September 2006 the exchange rate was $1.00 U.S. to 0.79 euros, the common European currency.

a. Find a linear function that converts U.S. dollars (D) to euros (E).

b. Find a linear function that converts U.S. dollars (D) to euros (E) with a service fee of $3.50.

2.Find the equation of the line that is parallel to y= 2-6x and that passes through the origin.

3.The total cost C for football tickets is directly proportional to the number of tickets purchased N. If two tickets cost $70, construct the formula relating C and N. What would the total cost of twelve tickets be?

4.Find the equation of the line that is parallel to W=500C+4314 and passes through the point where C=6 and W=400.

5.Find the slope of a line perpendicular to each of the following.

Give the exact answers, in fraction form if needed.

a. y=5-4x

m=?

b. y=x

m=?

6.Find an equation for the line that is perpendicular to y=4x-17 and passes through (5,-6).

y=f(x)=?

7.Solve the equation 19x+6y=3 for y, identify the slope, then find an equation for the line that is parallel to the line 19x+6y=3 and passes through the point (0,7).

y=?

Explanation / Answer

Standard slope intercept equation is given by:

y = mx + c

m = slope

c = intercept.

2.

for parallel equation slope remains same.

y = 2 - 6x

y = -6x + 2

compare it with standard equation

m = -6

it passes through (0, 0)

equation of line will be

(y - y1) = m*(x - x1)

y - 0 = -6*(x - 0)

y = -6x

y + 6x = 0

5.

A.y = 5 - 4x

y = -4x + 5

m = -4

B

y = x

y = 1x + 0

m = 1

6.

for perpendicular lines:

m1*m2 = -1

given line

y = 4x - 17

m1 = 4

m2 = -1/m1

m2 = -1/4

it passes through (5, -6)

equation of line will be:

(y - (-6)) = (-1/4)*(x - 5)

4y + 24 = -x + 5

4y = -x - 19

4y + x + 19 = 0
