### Question 17
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall slope formula
The slope $ m $ between two points $ (x_1,y_1) $ and $ (x_2,y_2) $ is $ m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $.
## Step2: Identify points
For $ J(0,5) $ and $ K(-1,2) $, $ x_1 = 0,y_1 = 5,x_2=-1,y_2 = 2 $.
## Step3: Calculate slope
$ m=\frac{2 - 5}{-1 - 0}=\frac{-3}{-1}=3 $.
# Answer: B. 3

### Question 18
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall slope formula
Slope $ m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $, parallel lines have equal slopes.
## Step2: Identify points
For $ G(2,-3) $ and $ H(-1,4) $, $ x_1 = 2,y_1=-3,x_2=-1,y_2 = 4 $.
## Step3: Calculate slope
$ m=\frac{4-(-3)}{-1 - 2}=\frac{7}{-3}=-\frac{7}{3} $.
# Answer: A. -7/3

### Question 19
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze line $ y = - 3 $
The line $ y=-3 $ is a horizontal line (slope $ 0 $).
## Step2: Slope of perpendicular line
A line perpendicular to a horizontal line is vertical, and vertical lines have undefined slope.
# Answer: D. undefined

### Question 20
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall slope - intercept form
The slope - intercept form of a line is $ y=mx + b $, where $ m $ is the slope and $ b $ is the y - intercept.
## Step2: Substitute values
Given $ m = 5 $ and $ b=\frac{3}{2} $, the equation is $ y = 5x+\frac{3}{2} $.
# Answer: D. $ y = 5x+\frac{3}{2} $

### Question 21
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall point - slope form
The point - slope form is $ y - y_1=m(x - x_1) $, which passes through $ (x_1,y_1) $.
## Step2: Identify point
For $ y - 1=-2(x - 4) $, $ x_1 = 4,y_1 = 1 $? Wait, no, let's check the options. Wait, the equation is $ y - 1=-2(x - 4) $, so when $ x = 4 $, $ y-1=-2(0)\Rightarrow y = 1 $? Wait, no, the options: Let's substitute $ x = 4 $ into the equation: $ y-1=-2(4 - 4)=0\Rightarrow y = 1 $. Wait, the options: B is $ (4,1) $? Wait, the original equation: $ y - 1=-2(x - 4) $, so the line passes through $ (4,1) $? Wait, the options: B is $ (4,1) $? Wait, the options are A. (-2,1), B. (4,1), C. (-4,2), D. (-4,1). Let's substitute $ x = 4 $ into the equation: $ y-1=-2(4 - 4)=0\Rightarrow y = 1 $. So the point is $ (4,1) $. Wait, maybe a typo in the option? Wait, the equation is $ y - 1=-2(x - 4) $, so when $ x = 4 $, $ y=1 $. So the point is $ (4,1) $, which is option B.
# Answer: B. (4,1)

### Question 22
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find slope of given line
The line $ y - 4=3(x - 8) $ is in point - slope form, slope $ m_1 = 3 $.
## Step2: Slope of perpendicular line
The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with slope $ m_1 $ is $ m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1} $, so $ m_2=-\frac{1}{3} $.
## Step3: Recall slope - intercept form
Slope - intercept form is $ y=mx + b $, with $ m =-\frac{1}{3} $ and $ b=-6 $ (y - intercept is - 6? Wait, the problem says y - intercept = - 6? Wait, the problem says "with y - intercept=-6". So the equation is $ y=-\frac{1}{3}x-6 $.
# Answer: D. $ y =-\frac{1}{3}x - 6 $

### Question 23
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find mid - point of $ \overline{BC} $
Mid - point formula: $ (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}) $. For $ B(-2,-4) $ and $ C(6,12) $, mid - point $ M=(\frac{-2 + 6}{2},\frac{-4 + 12}{2})=(2,4) $.
## Step2: Find slope of $ \overline{BC} $
Slope of $ BC $: $ m_{BC}=\frac{12-(-4)}{6-(-2)}=\frac{16}{8}=2 $.
## Step3: Slope of perpendicular bisector
The slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of $ 2 $, so $ m=-\frac{1}{2} $.
## Step4: Use point - slope form
Using point $ (2,4) $ and slope $ -\frac{1}{2} $, $ y - 4=-\frac{1}{2}(x - 2) $. Simplify: $ y-4=-\frac{1}{2}x + 1\Rightarrow y=-\frac{1}{2}x+5 $.
# Answer: C. $ y =-\frac{1}{2}x + 5 $

### Question 24
# Explanation:
## Step1: Rewrite the equation in slope - intercept form
Start with $ 4x-6y = 24 $. Solve for $ y $: $ - 6y=-4x + 24\Rightarrow y=\frac{2}{3}x-4 $.
## Step2: Analyze the line
The slope is $ \frac{2}{3} $ (positive) and y - intercept is - 4. We need to find the graph with positive slope and y - intercept - 4. Looking at the graphs, we analyze the slope and intercept. The line with positive slope (going up from left to right) and crossing the y - axis at - 4. Let's check the options. The general form: when $ x = 0 $, $ y=-4 $; when $ y = 0 $, $ x = 6 $. So the line passes through $ (0,-4) $ and $ (6,0) $. We need to identify the graph with these characteristics. (Assuming the graphs: Let's see, the correct graph should have a positive slope and y - intercept - 4. If we assume the graphs are labeled A, B, C, D, we need to find the one with slope $ \frac{2}{3} $ and y - intercept - 4. Let's check the slope: for a line $ y=\frac{2}{3}x-4 $, the rise over run is $ \frac{2}{3} $. So the correct graph should be the one that goes up 2 units for every 3 units to the right, and crosses the y - axis at - 4. (Since we can't see the exact graphs, but based on the equation, the line has a positive slope and y - intercept - 4. If we assume the options, we can find the correct one. But since we can't visualize, but based on the equation, the line $ y=\frac{2}{3}x - 4 $ has a positive slope and y - intercept - 4. So we need to find the graph with these properties. Let's assume that the correct graph is the one that has a positive slope and y - intercept - 4. If we consider the options, let's say the graph that passes through (0, - 4) and (6,0) is the correct one. Let's assume the correct graph is, for example, if the graphs are A, B, C, D, and C is the one with positive slope and y - intercept - 4, then the answer is C. But since we can't see, but based on the equation, the line $ 4x - 6y=24\Rightarrow y=\frac{2}{3}x - 4 $ has a positive slope. So we need to find the graph with positive slope. So the correct graph is the one with positive slope (going up from left to right) and y - intercept - 4.
# Answer: (Assuming the correct graph is C, but need to check the actual graphs. If we assume the graphs: Let's say the graph with positive slope and y - intercept - 4 is C. So the answer is C. But this is based on the equation analysis. If the graphs are as per standard, the line $ 4x-6y = 24 $ or $ y=\frac{2}{3}x - 4 $ has a positive slope, so the correct graph is the one with positive slope. So the answer is C (assuming the middle - right or the appropriate one with positive slope and y - intercept - 4).)
