Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises
1. The slopes are equal; y-intercepts are not equal.
3. The point of intersection is . 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 and solve for b. Then write the equation of the line in the form by substituting in m and b.
