212) When x < 0, then y < 0 and the graph contains points in quadrant III. When 0 < x < 5, then y < 0 and the graph
contains points in quadrant IV. When x > 5, then y > 0 and then graph contains points in quadrant I.
213) The second coordinate of any point on the graph is b, regardless of the first coordinate, so the graph is a line parallel to
the x-axis and ∣b∣ units above or below it. Thus, the graph is a horizontal line.
b-b 0
214) For any two points on the line (x1, b) and (x2, b), x1 ≠ x2, m = = = 0.
x1 - x2 x1 - x2
y1 - y2 y1 - y2
215) For any two points on the line (a, y1) and (a, y2), y1 ≠ y2, m = = .
a-a 0
y2 - y1 -1 • (y2 - y1) y1 - y2
216) m = = = .

x2 - x1 -1 • (x2 - x1) x1 - x2
217) The line with a slope of -6 is steeper, because the larger the absolute value of the slope, the steeper the line.
218) No, the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
219) No; the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
220) Point-slope form would be more useful if you wanted to find an equation of a line with a specified slope passing
through a specified point that is not the y-intercept.
221) No; the rate of increase is not constant. The slope of the segment from (0, 372) to (8, 100,000) is 12,453.5 while the slope
