Solutions
1. (d)
Since line is parallel, slope of the unknown line is 2
𝑦−1
Now equation of line: 2 = 𝑥−2
𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 3
2. (a)
𝑥 2 − 12𝑥 + 36 + 𝑦 2 − 8𝑦 + 16 + 27 − 36 − 16 = 0
(𝑥 − 6)2 + (𝑦 − 4)2 = 25

a. 𝛼 + 𝛽 = − 2 = 3.5
−5
b. 𝛼𝛽 = − 2 = −2.5
c. For 𝛼 2 + 𝛽2 , we need to recall that
𝛼 2 + 𝛽2 = (𝛼 + 𝛽)2 − 2𝛼𝛽 = (3.5)2 − 2(−2.5) = 17.25
1 1 𝛼+𝛽 3.5 7
d. +β = = =
α 𝛼𝛽 −2.5 5
y−(−2) 3 − (−2)
⇒ =
x−3 −1 − 3
y+2 5
⇒ =
x−3 −4
⇒ −4𝑦 − 8 = 5𝑥 − 15
⇒ 5𝑥 + 4𝑦 − 7= 0
Now, we rearrange this equation into the slope-intercept form:
4𝑦 = −5𝑥 + 7
