C Challenge

  1. You can find the equation of a line through two points even if one point is not the y-intercept.
    • Find the slope m of the line passing through the two points.
    • Using either point, substitute for x, y, and m into y equals m x plus b .
    • Solve for b and rewrite y equals m x plus b  for the values of m and b.

    Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line passing through each pair of points.

Find the domain and range of each relation, and determine whether it is a function.

  1. A graph has the plotted points (negative 2, 2), (1, 2), (2, 3), (2, negative 2), (3, negative 1), (4, 2). All points are approximate.
  2. A graph extends horizontally leftward from point (1, negative 1), it rises vertically from (1, negative 1) to (1, 1). It then rises rightward at a diagonal through (3, 2). All points are approximate.
  3. A relation.
