Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the points.
1 answer:
If we identify the lines by ...
1. y = -0.5x -3
2. y = -3.5x -15
3. y = 5x +19
4. y = 1.25x +4
Then the matches are ...
BC - 2
DE - 1
FG - none
HI - 4
JK - none
LM - 3
_____
Whenever there is a lot of repetitive math to do, I usually find it easier to let a calculator or spreadsheet do it. Here, the graphing calculator is computing the slope between the points. The slopes of parallel lines are the same.

Given:
One linear function represented by the table.
Another linear function represented by the graph.
To find:
The greater unit rate and greater y-intercept.
Solution:
Formula for slope (unit rate):
From the given table it is clear that the linear function passes through (0,5) and (5,15). The function intersect the y-axis at (0,15), so the y-intercept is 15.
So, the unit rate of first function is 2.
From the given graph it is clear that the linear function passes through (0,6) and (-4,0). The function intersect the y-axis at (0,6), so the y-intercept is 6.
So, the unit rate of first function is .
Now,
And,
Therefore, the greater unit rate of the two functions is 2. The greater y-intercept of the two functions is 15.
