Math 221 Intro to Algebra Week 3 DQ 1

• Read the following instructions in order to complete this discussion, and review the example of how to complete the math required for this assignment:
  • 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. (3 is my assigned number. See below)

• 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

Your initial post should be 250 words in length.
