4. Find an equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line that passes through the points
(−1, −2) and (4, 3).
5. Show that the following equation represents a circle and find the centre and radius.
6. Identify the type of curve and sketch the graph. Do not plot points. Instead, use the
standard graphs, recognizing the form of the equation, and shift if necessary.
(a) 25x2 − 9y 2 = 225 (b) 2x2 + 5y 2 = 10 (c) y = x2 + 2x
7. Sketch a rough graph of the number of hours of daylight as a function of time of the year.
9. Find an expression for the function whose graph is the given curve.
(a) The line segment joining the points (−5, 10) and (7, −10)
(b) The bottom half of the circle x2 + (y − 2)2 = 4
10. Determine whether f is even, odd, or neither. If you have a graphing calculator, you
can use it to check your answer visually.
