1−4

Question 2 Find an equation of the line that has a Question 5 Find an equation of a horizontal line
slope m and passing through the point P. passing through the point P.
1. m = 3, and P = (1, −4) 1. P = (−3, 4)

Ans : The point-slope form equation of this line Ans : y = 4

is (y + 4) = 3(x − 1)

2. P = (−1, −2)
2. m = −2, and P = (1, −2)
Ans : y = −2
Ans : The point-slope form equation of this line
is (y + 2) = −2(x − 1)
Question 6 Find an equation of a line passing through
the points :
Question 3 Find an equation of the line that has a
slope m and whose y-intercept is (0, b). 1. (3, 2) and (1, 5).
1. m = 3, and b = 5
Ans : From Question 1.1, we know that the
−3
Ans : The slope-intercept form equation of this slope of this line is m= . Hence, the equation
line is y = 3x + 5 2
of this line is
−3
(y − 2) = (x − 3)
2
2. m = −2, and b = −1
2. (4, −2) and (1, 4)
Ans : The slope-intercept form equation of this
line is y = −2x − 1 Ans : From Question 1.2, we know that the
slope of this line is m=−2. Hence, the equation
of this line is
(y + 2) = −2(x − 4)
