9 Extended: Working with the Slope

Complete the questions below before our next class.

  1. A line contains the point A(1, 3) and has a slope of 3. Find the coordinates of two other points on the same line.
  2. A line contains the point A(0, 5) and has a slope of \(\displaystyle{-\frac{2}{3}}\). Find the coordinates of two other points on the same line. (Hint: associate the negative sign with the number in numerator before trying to find other points on the line.)
  3. Consider the point A(1, 1). On a grid, graph a line with a slope of \(\displaystyle{\frac{3}{5}}\) that passes through point A, and a line with a slope of \(\displaystyle{-\frac{5}{3}}\) that also passes through point A. What do you notice about the two lines?

11 SL Combinations of Transformations

For homework before next class, answer the following question.

Does the order in which we apply transformations matter? For example, if I begin with the graph of \(y=f(x)\), and I

  • (A) translate by 2 units to the left, and then
  • (B) stretch vertically by a factor of 3,

will I always get the same result as I would if I had begun with the graph of \(y=f(x)\), and I

  • (B) stretch vertically by a factor of 3, and then
  • (A) translate by 2 units to the left?

What if, instead of stretching vertically by a factor of 3, I stretch horizontally by a factor of 3? Does order matter in that case?

Consideration of the function \(f(x)=x^3-2x^2\) may help here.
