3. (6 pts)  Which of the following equations does the graph represent? Show work or explanation.         3. _ __

4. (12 pts) Consider the points(– 4,  –1) and (8, 8).

   (a) Find the slope-intercept equation of the line passing through the two given points. Show work.

(b) Graph the line you found in (a), eitherdrawing it on the grid in the previous problem #3, or generating the graph electronically and attaching it.

(c) Compare your line for this problem, #4, with the line in the previous problem #3. Are the two lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular?(The terms parallel and perpendicular are discussed on pages 166 and 167.)No explanation required – just state the answer.
