The second line of eauation y=-2x+5 is parallel to a since both have the same slope which is -
-2
the first line of equation y=2x-1 is neither perpendicular nor parallel to a since the (slope of this line) x (the slope of a) = 2 x -2 = -4 not -1, so they aren't perpendicular and its slope isn't equal to that of a, so they aren't parallel
the last line of equation y=1/2x+7 is perpendicular to a since (the slope of a) x (the slope of this line) = -2 x 1/2 = -1

Answer:

A.Neither perpendicular nor parallel to line a

B.Parallel to line a

C.Perpendicular to line a

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that line a represented by the equation

y=-2x+3

Slope- intercept form of line is given by

y=mx+C

Where m=Slope of line a

C=y- intercept

Comparing it  with the given equation then, we get

Slope of line a=-2

We know that

When two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

When two lines are perpendicular then

Slope of one line=-\frac{1}{slope\;of\;other\;line}

A.y=2x-1

Compare it with y=mx+C

We get slope of line,m=2

Slope of the line is opposite to slope of line a .

Hence, it is neither perpendicular nor parallel to  line a .

B.y=-2x+5

Compare it with y=mx+C

m=-2

It is parallel to  line a because slope of both lines are equal.

C.y=\frac{1}{2}x+7

Compare it with y=mx+C

We get slope of line , m=\frac{1}{2}

Slope of the line=-\frac{1}{slope\;of\;line\;a}=\frac{1}{2}

Hence, the line is perpendicular to the line a.

Given the foci of (8,0) and the difference of the focal radii = 6, find the equation of the hyperbola
k0ka [10]

Given :

The foci of hyperbola are (8,0) and (-8,0) .

The difference of the focal radii = 6.

To Find :

The equation of the hyperbola.

Solution :

We know, distance between foci is given by :

2c = 8 - (-8)

c = 8

Also, difference between the foci or focal distance is given by :

2a = 6

a = 3

Now, we know for hyperbola :

b^2 +a^2 = c^2\\\\b^2={c^2-a^2}\\\\b^2 = 64-9\\\\b^2 = 55

General equation of hyperbola is :

\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{9}+ \dfrac{y^2}{55}=1

Hence, this is the required solution.
