Write the product of 7 and a number J as an expression.
what's the answer?

(1)

to find the intercepts

• let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept

• let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept

x = 0 : y = - → (0, - ) ← y-intercept

y = 0 : x - = 0 ( multiply by 3 )

x - 2 = 0 → x = 2 → (2, 0 ) ← x- intercept

(2)

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = - x is in this form with slope m = - 1

the slope of a perpendicular line = - = 1

the partial equation of the perpendicular line is

y = x + c

to find c substitute (8, 2 ) into the partial equation

2 = 8 + c → c = 2 - 8 = - 6

y = x - 6 ← equation of perpendicular line
