Student Name:
1) Given the equation
y = x - 5
a) Complete the ordered pairs. Find the missing coordinate.
(0, ), ( , 0), (4, )
Solution: Since y = x – 5,
When x = 0, y = 0 -5 = -5
Hence, coordinate is (0, -5).
When y = 0, 0 = x – 5, this gives x = 5
Hence, coordinate is (5, 0).
When x = 4, y = 4 – 5, this gives y = -1
Hence, coordinate is (4, -1).
b) Graph the equation. Use at least two of the points completed above.
A) B)
C) D)

Solution:
Hence, answer option (D) is correct.
Find the intersections of x and y for the equation if they exist. Otherwise, write none. Then graph the
equation.
2) 12y - 3x = -9
a) x-intercept:
b) y-intercept:
Solución(a): Sincé 12y -3x = -9
For x – intercept, substitute y = 0 we get
Solución(b): Sincé 12y -3x = -9
For y – intercept, substitute x = 0 we get

c) Graph the equation.
A) B)
C) D)
Solution:

MAT 1100 Quantitative Reasoning Module 3 Lesson 1 Assignment 2
Hence, answer option (B) is correct.
3) y – 5 = 0
a) x-intercept
b) y-intercept:
Solution (a): Since, y – 5 = 0, this gives y = 5. Hence, x – intercpt : None.
Solution (b): Since, y – 5 = 0, this gives y = 5. Hence, y - intercept is 5
c) Graph the equation.
A) B)

MAT 1100 Quantitative Reasoning Module 3 Lesson 1 Assignment 2
C) D)
Solution: The graph of the function y – 5 = 0 is
4) Identify whether the slope is positive, negative, zero, or undefined.
a) ____Positive_____________ b) ______0_________ c) __Negative______________

5) Find the slope of the line through the points. Use the slope formula.
(-4, 3) and (-3, 4)
Solution: The slope of the line passing through the points and is
So, the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 3) and (-3, 4) is
Decide whether the pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
6) The line through (6, 4) and (12, 4) and the line through (-8, -1) and (-5, -1)
.Solution: Suppose and are the slopes of line, then
(a) Lines are parallel if
(b) Lines are perpendicular if
(c) Otherwise lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Now, the slope of line passing through (6, 4) and (12, 4) is
The slope of line passing through (-8, -1) and (-5, -1) is

MAT 1100 Quantitative Reasoning Module 3 Lesson 1 Assignment 2
Since, slopes are equal, the lines are parallel.
7) The pitch of a roof is its slope( rise
run ). Find the pitch of the roof shown.
Solution: The pitch of the roof is slope
8) In 1980, the population of a city was 5.3 million. By 1992 the population had grown to 6.9 million. Find the
average rate of change in the population. The average rate of change is an application of the concept slope
( C h ange ∈y
C h ange∈x )
Solution: The rate of change in the population is

9) Find the average rate of change. Use appropriate units.
Solution: The two points on the line are . The averages rate of changes the
slope of the line. So, the average rate of change is
10) Graph the following line.
a) Through (4, -1), m =−3
4
A) B)

MAT 1100 Quantitative Reasoning Module 3 Lesson 1 Assignment 2
C) D)
Solution: The equation of line passing through
(4, -1) with slope is
And the graph of the line is
