find an equation for the line through (4,7) with the given relationship to y=2x-4: a. parallel & b. perpendicular

stiks02 [169]

A.) Parallel lines has equal slopes, hence slope of required equation = slope of y = 2x - 4 = 2
required equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 7 = 2(x - 4)
y - 7 = 2x - 8
y = 2x - 8 + 7
y = 2x - 1

Answer:

Given equation: $y=(x+1)^2-2$

The function is a quadratic function in vertex form: $y=a(x-h)^2+k$

Translations

For $a > 0$

$f(x+a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units left}$

$f(x-a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units right}$

$f(x)+a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units up}$

$f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}$

Parent function: $f(x)=x^2$

Translations

Translated 1 unit left: $f(x+1)=(x+1)^2$

Then translated 2 units down: $f(x)-2=(x+1)^2-2$

Therefore, translate the parent function by 1 unit left and 2 units down to produce the given equation.

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y =4/9 x – 2 that passes through the point (4,3)?

Scrat [10]

Line y = 4/9 x - 2 has a slope of 4/9.
For perpendicular lines, the ploduct of the two slopes is -1. Thus the slope of the required line is -1/(4/9) = -9/4

Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = -9/4(x - 4)
y - 3 = -9/4 x + 9
y = -9/4 x + 9 + 3
y = -9/4 x + 12.
