AP Calculus

1.1 Worksheet

All work must be shown in this course for full credit. Unsupported answers may receive NO credit.

1. Write the equation of the line that goes through the points (–3, 7) and (4, 5) in

a) point-slope form

b) slope-intercept form

c) standard form

2. Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (12, 15) and

a) is parallel to the x-axis

b) is parallel to the y-axis

3. Find an equation of the line tangent to a circle with radius 5 and center (0,0) at the point (3, 4).
Hint: A Tangent Line to a circle is always perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.

4. For what value of k are the two lines 2x + ky = 3 and x + y = 1

a) parallel

b) perpendicular
5. The relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures in linear.

a) Using the fact that water freezes at 0 C or 32 F, and water boils at 100 C or 212 F (not your recollection of
temperature formulas) find a linear equation that relates Celsius and Fahrenheit.

b) Using your equation, find the Celsius equivalent of 80 F and the Fahrenheit equivalent of –10 C.

c) Is there a temperature at which a Fahrenheit and a Celsius thermometer give the same reading? If so, what is it?

6. The pressure p experienced by a diver under water is related to the diver’s depth d by an equation of the form p = kd + 1, where k
is a constant. When d = 0 meters, the pressure is 1 atmosphere. The pressure at 100 meters is 10.94 atmospheres. Find the pressure at
50 meters.

7. Consider the point P (–2, 1) and the line L: 3x + 5y = 2.

a) Find the slope of L.

b) Write an equation for the line through P and parallel to L.

c) Write an equation for the line through P and perpendicular to L.

d) What is the x-intercept of L ?
