Solutions to Try Its

1. x-intercept is [latex]\left(4,0\right)[/latex]; y-intercept is [latex]\left(0,3\right)[/latex]. This is an image of a line graph on an x, y coordinate plane. The x and y axes range from negative 4 to 6. The function y = -3x/4 + 3 is plotted. 2. [latex]\left(-5,\frac{5}{2}\right)[/latex]

Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises

1. Answers may vary. Yes. It is possible for a point to be on the x-axis or on the y-axis and therefore is considered to NOT be in one of the quadrants. 3. The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. 5. The x-intercept is [latex]\left(2,0\right)[/latex] and the y-intercept is [latex]\left(0,6\right)[/latex]. 7. The x-intercept is [latex]\left(2,0\right)[/latex] and the y-intercept is [latex]\left(0,-3\right)[/latex]. 9. The x-intercept is [latex]\left(3,0\right)[/latex] and the y-intercept is [latex]\left(0,\frac{9}{8}\right)[/latex]. 11. [latex]y=4 - 2x[/latex] 13. [latex]y=\frac{5 - 2x}{3}[/latex] 15. [latex]y=2x-\frac{4}{5}[/latex] 17. [latex]d=\sqrt{74}[/latex] 19. [latex]d=\sqrt{36}=6[/latex] 21. [latex]d\approx 62.97[/latex] 23. [latex]\left(3,\frac{-3}{2}\right)[/latex] 25. [latex]\left(2,-1\right)[/latex] 27. [latex]\left(0,0\right)[/latex] 29. [latex]y=0[/latex] 31. not collinear This is an image of an x, y coordinate plane with the x and y axes ranging from negative 5 to 5. The points (0,4); (-1,2) and (2,1) are plotted and labeled. 33. [latex]\left(-3,2\right),\left(1,3\right),\left(4,0\right)[/latex] 35.

This is an image of an x, y coordinate plane with the x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10. The points (-3, 0); (0, 1.5) and (3, 3) are plotted and labeled. A line runs through all of these points. 39. This is an image of an x, y coordinate plane with the x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10. The points (8, 0) and (0, -4) are plotted and labeled. A line runs through both of these points. 41. This is an image of an x, y coordinate plane with the x and y axes ranging from negative 10 to 10. The points (0, 2) and (3, 0) are plotted and labeled. A line runs through both of these points. 43. [latex]d=8.246[/latex] 45. [latex]d=5[/latex] 47. [latex]\left(-3,4\right)[/latex] 49. [latex]x=0\text{ }y=-2[/latex] 51. [latex]x=0.75\text{ }y=0[/latex] 53. [latex]x=-1.667\text{ }y=0[/latex] 55. [latex]\text{15}\text{-11}.\text{2 }=\text{ 3}.8[/latex] mi shorter 57. [latex]\text{6}.0\text{42}[/latex] 59. Midpoint of each diagonal is the same point [latex]\left(2,2\right)[/latex].
