(a) We rewrite 6x + 3y = 21 as 3y = −6x + 21 or y = −2x + 7. Thus, the slope is −2. (b) Solution 1 c − 0 c Since the slope of the line segment is 3, then = 3, and so = 3 or c = 12. 5 − 1 4 Solution 2 Since the slope of the line segment is 3, then for every unit that we move to the right, we move 3 units up. Since (5, c) is 4 units to the right of (1, 0), then it is 3(4) = 12 units up from (1, 0), so c = 0 + 12 = 12. (c) Solution 1 4 − (−4) 8 The given line segment joins (0, 4) to (8, −4), so has slope = = −1. 0 − 8 −8 Since the y-intercept of the line segment is 4, then the equation of the line passing through
