Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises

1. The slopes are equal; y-intercepts are not equal.

3. The point of intersection is [latex]\left(a,a\right)[/latex]. This is because for the horizontal line, all of the y coordinates are a and for the vertical line, all of the x coordinates are a. The point of intersection will have these two characteristics.

5. First, find the slope of the linear function. Then take the negative reciprocal of the slope; this is the slope of the perpendicular line. Substitute the slope of the perpendicular line and the coordinate of the given point into the equation [latex]y=mx+b[/latex] and solve for b. Then write the equation of the line in the form [latex]y=mx+b[/latex] by substituting in m and b.
