# 42 / Sketch the line x = 6. How is it related to the line y = 6?

Answer: x=6 is a vertical line and y=6 is a horizontal line so both lines are perpendicular
Section 13.4 pp. 847-850
# 50 / Garden Area Problem. A designer created a garden from two concentric circles whose equations are as follows:
(x + 2)² + ( y - 6)² = 16
And
(x + 2)² + ( y - 6)² = 81.
The area between the circles will be covered with grass. What is the area of that section?
Work: radius of the first circle is Ö16=4 and radius of the second circle is Ö81=9
Area of the greatest circle is 81pi and area of the smallest circle is 16pi so area of the section is (81-16)pi =65pi
Answer:Area is 65pi square units
Section 13.4 pp. 847-850
# 52 / Taxicab Distances Problem. Imagine that the grid lines on a coordinate grid are streets and that the distance between two points must be measured by the number of “blocks” a taxicab would have to travel horizontally and vertically to get from one point to the other. The sum of the horizontal and vertical distances is called the taxicab distance. A cab driver estimates that traveling one block during rush hour takes about 5 min. Use this information to answer Exercises 51 and 52.
How do you find the distance between two points?
Work: distance = (8-2)+(8-1)=6+7=13
Answer: 13

General rule:
A=(xa,ya); B=(xb,yb)
Distance = |yb-ya|+|xb-xa|
Answer:d = |yb-ya|+|xb-xa|
Section 13.4 pp. 847-850
# 54 / 54. Suppose that someone said that the equation connecting
points ( -1, 1) and ( 2, 3) is . This person
wants to know whether the line represented by this
equation will contain point (6, 9). Identify two ways by which this person can decide whether the graph of the equation contains the point.
Work:
1st way:
If x = 6 then y = (2/3)6+5/3=4+5/3=17/3≠9
Then (6,9) is not in the line
2nd way:
Slope of the line determined by (-1,1) and (6,9) is
(9-1)/(6+1)=8/7 ≠2/3
Then (6,9) is not in the line

# 30 / The graph of an equation in the form y = mx + b is a
straight line. Can the equation of every straight line be
written in the form y = mx + b ? (Hint: What is the
equation of a vertical line?)
Answer: No, x=a is a vertical line
CH. 13 Review pp. 852-853
# 34 / Give an equation of a line perpendicular to the line y = 4x
having the same y-intercept.
Slope of y=4x is 4 then 4m=-1
where m is the slope of the line required
m = -1/4
then y = (-1/4)x+b
y-intercept of y=4x=0
then b=0
Answer: y = (-1/4)x
