Straight Line Part 3 Quiz

Straight Line Part 3 Quiz helps connect straight line equations with stories that show how mathematics has evolved. In the 17th century, Pierre de Fermat worked on ideas that contributed heavily to the foundation of coordinate geometry, though Descartes often receives most of the credit. Fermat’s approach to analysing curves and lines gave us powerful tools that are still used today. From understanding the slope of a line to exploring parallel and perpendicular lines, his contributions made equations a gateway to visual reasoning. This quiz builds on those timeless ideas, guiding you through exercises that make concepts more intuitive. A straight line quiz like this proves that simple rules can unlock deep mathematical insights.

Straight Line Part 3

Which pair of lines are parallel?

y = 3x + 2 and y = x + 7

y = -x + 4 and y = x + 5

y = 2x + 1 and y = 2x – 5

y = 4x + 2 and y = –4x – 3

Which line is parallel to y = x + 5?

y = x –3

y = –x –2

y = 1/x

y = 2x + 1

Are the lines 2x + 3y = 6 and 4x + 6y = 5 parallel?

They are perpendicular

Can't be determined

Yes

What is the equation of line parallel to y = 5x + 1 passing through (0, 3)

y = 5x

y = 5x + 3

y = 5x – 3

y = –5x + 3

Find the equation of the line parallel to y = 2x + 3 and passing through (1, 3).

2y = x + 1

y = 2x - 1

y = 2x

y = 2x + 1

What is equation of line perpendicular to y = 4x + 1 through (0,0)?

4y + x = 0

y = 4x

y = −4x

4y - x = 0

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = (1/2)x + 7 through (2, 3).

y = 2x - 7

y = 2x + 7

y = -2x + 7

y = -2x - 7

Find the equation of a line passing through (2, 2) and perpendicular to the line 5x + y = 0.

5y = -x + 12

5y = x + 12

5y = x - 12

None of the above

Find the equation of the line which passes through (−1, 4) and is parallel to the line through (0, 0) and (2, 1).

y = 2x + 9

2y = -x - 9

2y = x + 9

2y = x - 9

Find the equation of the line through (1, −1) and perpendicular to line y = -1/2x+3.

y = 2x + 3

y = 2x - 3

y = -2x - 3

None of the above
