18 Write the equation of the line shown in the figure.
19 Is it possible to write the equation of the line passing through the points
a A (1, 2), B (2, 4), and C (a , a + 24) for some value of a ? If yes, write the
equation of the line and the value of a . If it's impossible, prove it.
b A (1, 3),B (2, 4), and C (a , 2a + 4) for some value of a ? If yes, write the
equation of the line and the value of a . If it's impossible, prove it.
c A (−2, 2),B (4, −4), and C ( − a , a + 24) for some value of a ? If yes, write
the equation of the line and the value of a . If it's impossible, prove it.
21 Andrew solves the problem to find an equation of the line from the
coordinates of the two points on this line. The coordinates of one point
were (3, 7). Distracted by his sister, Andrew messes up the numbers and
uses a point with coordinates (7, 3) instead. Still he gets the correct
equation of the line. What is the equation of this line?
23 For any point A with the x -coordinate 3, let us consider two lines
passing through point A: one line parallel to the line y = 2x + 4 and the
other line perpendicular to this line. Find the y -coordinate of the point A
if these two lines have opposite y -intercepts.
25 Find the number of line segments with one endpoint A (20, 24) and
another endpoint on x -axis with integer coordinates, which have a
common point with the line segment PQ, where P(0, 4), Q(40, 4).
4 In a recent basketball game, Shenille attempted only three-point shots
and two-point shots. She was successful on 20% of her three-point shots
and 30% of her two-point shots. Shenille attempted 30 shots. How many
points did she score?
(A) 12
(B) 18
(C) 24
(D) 30
(E) 36
Positive integers a and b are such that the graphs of y = a x +5 and
5 y = 3x + b intersect the x -axis at the same point. What is the sum of all
possible x -coordinates of these points of intersection?
(A) − 20
(B) − 18
(C) − 15
(D) − 12
(E) − 8
6 Let us consider the points with an integer second coordinate from ( − 2)
to 2 and with an integer first coordinate from ( − 25) to 25. How many
lines are there parallel to the line y = 3x and passing through any of these
points?
