What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line

Mathematics

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of that line. Basically, the slopes of two perpendicular lines multiply to -1. The slope of this line is -1/5. To find the slope of a line perpendicular, we need to find out what number, multiplied by -1/5, would make -1. Or, we can take the opposite reciprocal (it's the same answer). This number is 5, so the slope of a line perpendicular to this line is 5.

Find the slope-intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through (–1, 2) and is parallel to y = 2x – 3.
sammy [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut point with the y axis.

By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be m = 2.

y = 2x + b

We substitute the given point to find b:

2 = 2 (-1) + b\\2 = -2 + b\\2 + 2 = b\\b = 4

Finally the line is:

y = 2x + 4

Answer:

y = 2x + 4

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point(−7,−1) and has a slope of 1?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

y=x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Put (-7,-1) into

y-y1=m(x-x1) form, and m=1 (the slope)

y+1=1(x+7)

y+1=x+7

y=x+6
