1. Tricky:
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
When looking to determine the
equation of a line, we need 2
important pieces of information:

1. Slope (m)
2. Intercept (b)
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
With those 2 pieces, you can
write an equation for any line.

The strategy is about how to find

that information.
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
Situations that may be
encountered:
1. 2 points only.
2. A point and the slope.
3. A point and another line to
compare to (parallel or
perpendicular).
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
Situation: 2 points only.

Find the equation of the line

passing through (1, 3) and (5,
2).

First, find the slope, then use

one of the points to find the
intercept.
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
Situation: A point and a slope.

Find the equation of the line

passing through (-2, 3) with a
slope of 4.

Easier because slope is already

given! Just find b.
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
Situation: A point and another
line to compare to.

Find the equation of the line

passing through (2, -2) that is
perpendicular to y=2x-1.

Find the slope using the slope of

the given line. Then find b.
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
Practice:

Find the equation of the line

passing through the points (2, 1)
and (-3, 5).

Then find the line parallel to that

passing through (10, 4).
P4: Determine the equation of a
line given linear information.
Summary:
• First find slope, then find
intercept.
 P5: Simplify complex functions
including radicals and exponentials.
We will be encountering all types
of complex functions in calculus,
so we need to be efficient and
accurate with simplification.

Let’s review needed principles…

 P5: Simplify complex functions
including radicals and exponentials.
Exponent Laws:
Law Example
x1 = x 61 = 6
x0 = 1 70 = 1
x-1 = 1/x 4-1 = 1/4
xmxn = xm+n x2x3 = x2+3 = x5
xm/xn = xm-n x6/x2 = x6-2 = x4
(xm)n = xmn (x2)3 = x2×3 = x6
(xy)n = xnyn (xy)3 = x3y3
(x/y)n = xn/yn (x/y)2 = x2 / y2
x-n = 1/xn x-3 = 1/x3

P6: Determine the asymptotes
of a basic function.
Asymptotes are significant in
calculus. In fact, their very
definition comes from calculus.

The definition you learned in

Pre-Calc was the “unofficial”
version.
P6: Determine the asymptotes
of a basic function.
Asymptotes are “boundaries” on
the graph that “guide” the
behavior of a line.

The official definition will come

when we get to Limits!
P6: Determine the asymptotes
of a basic function.
Finding a vertical asymptote:

Basically, look for something x

cannot ever equal.

A big clue: you can’t have 0 in

the denominator.
