15. Since the slope is 0, the line is horizontal and its equation is y  1. Therefore, three additional points are 0, 1, 1, 1,
and 3, 1.

17. The equation of this line is

y  7  3x  1
y  3x  10 .

Therefore, three additional points are 0, 10, 2, 4, and 3, 1.

19. Given a line L, you can use any two distinct points to calculate its slope. Since a line is straight, the ratio of the change in
y-values to the change in x-values will always be the same. See Section P.2 Exercise 93 for a proof.
