The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.
To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).
3y = -4x + 2
y = -4/3x + 2/3
The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.
Answer:
3/4 (the first option)
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive property
4x+4=64, then subtract
4x=60, then divide
x=15
Answer:
<em>Equation; y = - x + 3</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the equation, let us first determine the slope of the line, through the equation ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 ), in this case where y2 ⇒ 1, y1 ⇒ 5, x2 ⇒ 2, and x1 ⇒ -2;
( 1 - 5 ) / ( 2 - ( - 2 ) ) ⇒ Simplify,
( - 4 ) / ( 4 ),
<em>Slope; - 1</em>
Now that we have the slope, let us substitute this known value into the point - slope equation in the following form;
y = a * x + b, where a ⇒ slope, and b ⇒ y - intercept,
( So far we have ) y = - x + b,
Let us solve for the value of b in y = - x + b by substituting one of the points, say ( 2 , 1 ) where x ⇒ 2, and y ⇒ 1;
( 1 ) = - ( 2 ) + b,
1 = - 2 + b,
b = 3;
<em>Equation; y = - x + 3</em>
Answer:
I believe the right answer would be 1 and 2
I actually haven’t done this in a while, so sorry if you get this wrong!
