The parametric equation for the line
Answer to Problem 32E
The slope −intercepts form is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Point
Calculation:
Find the parametric equation, first find the slope.
The slope
On substituting
Start at the point
Thus, the parametric equations for the line of slope
To confirm that these equations give the line of slope
Therefore, on putting
Thus, the slope −intercepts form of the equation of this line of slope
The graph of the equation
Conclusion:
Therefore, the slope −intercepts form of the equation of this line of slope and passes through the points
