Algebra Problem

· Given an equation of a line, find equations for lines parallel or perpendicular to it going through specified points. Find the appropriate equations and points from the table below. Simplify your equations into slope-intercept form.

· Use your assigned number to complete. (My assigned number is 14)

Write the equation of a line parallel to the given line and passing through the given point.

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line and passing through the given point.

The problem is y= 3/4x-1, (3,1)

· Discuss the steps necessary to carry out each activity. Describe briefly what each line looks like in relation to the original given line.

· Answer these two questions briefly in your own words: 

· What does it mean for one line to be parallel to another?

· What does it mean for one line to be perpendicular to another?

· Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing your math work.):

· Origin 

· Ordered pair 

· X- or y-intercept  

· Slope   

· Reciprocal
