Q. A:((1414,1212.66)) B:((1414,22)) C:((44,22)) Find the equations of lines ABAB, BCBC, and ACAC in the diagram.
  1. Calculate slope of line ABAB: Calculate the slope of line ABAB.\newlineSince AA and BB have the same xx-coordinate, the slope is undefined, and line ABAB is vertical.
  2. Write equation of line AB: Write the equation of line AB.\newlineFor a vertical line at x=14x = 14, the equation is x=14x = 14.
  3. Calculate slope of line BC: Calculate the slope of line BC. Use the slope formula (y2y1)/(x2x1)(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1) with points B(14,2)(14,2) and C(4,2)(4,2). Slope of BC = (22)/(144)=0/10=0(2 - 2) / (14 - 4) = 0 / 10 = 0.
  4. Write equation of line BC: Write the equation of line BC.\newlineFor a horizontal line at y=2y = 2, the equation is y=2y = 2.
  5. Calculate slope of line AC: Calculate the slope of line AC. Use the slope formula with points A(14,12.6)A(14,12.6) and C(4,2)C(4,2). Slope of AC=12.62144=10.610=1.06AC = \frac{12.6 - 2}{14 - 4} = \frac{10.6}{10} = 1.06.
  6. Write equation of line AC: Write the equation of line AC using point-slope form.\newlineStart with yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) using point A(14,12.6)(14,12.6) and slope 1.061.06.\newliney12.6=1.06(x14)y - 12.6 = 1.06(x - 14).
  7. Simplify equation of line AC: Simplify the equation of line AC. Distribute the slope and add 12.612.6 to both sides. y=1.06x14.84+12.6y = 1.06x - 14.84 + 12.6. y=1.06x2.24y = 1.06x - 2.24.
