Solve It! A contractor needs to build two straight roads, each passing through point A.


One road must be parallel to Pine Street, and the other road must be perpendicular to Pine Street. Find the coordinates of a second point the parallel road will pass through and the coordinates of a third point the perpendicular road will pass through. Classify the coordinates below appropriately.

  • (10, 70)
  • (60, 60)
  • (50, 40)
  • On the parallel road
  • On the perpendicular road
  • On neither the parallel nor perpendicular road

Review: The slope formula helps us to calculate the slope between any two points as follows:
\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
10

Take Note: Describe the process of using the slope formula to calculate slope between two given points.

Problem 2 Got It? A line passes through (-5, 0) and (0, 7). What is an equation of the line in point-slope form?

10

Problem 2 Got It? Reasoning: What is another equation in point-slope form of the line through the points (-5, 0) and (0, 7)?

Take Note: Provide an example of an equation in standard form.

10

Take Note: Since the standard form of an equation should be written with integers as its coefficients and constant, it is often necessary to clear fractions. Recall that this can be accomplished by multiplying every term in the equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of all of the denominators.

Consider the equation:
\frac{2}{3}x+5y=\frac{1}{2}
By what LCM can we multiply every term to clear the fractions and establish an equation that is in standard form? Enter only a number.

Hint: The new equation is
4x+30y=3.
