There's no such thing as parallel or perpendicular "to a point".  A problem like that
will always want the new line to be parallel or perpendicular to another <em><u>line</u></em>.

-- If the new line is parallel to the given line, then they have the <em><u>same</u></em> slope.

-- If the new line is perpendicular to the the given line, then the slope of the
new line is [ <em><u>1 / slope of the given line</u></em> ].

In either case, you now have the slope of the new line and a point on it. 
From there, you should have no trouble finding its equation.

Parallel is same slope.
Perpendicular is same slope but you have make it opposite and flip it.
For example if your slope is 2/3. For Perpendicular it would be - 3/2.

Find the value of X
geniusboy [140]
Here, angle (3x-1) is supplementary with 5x, so their sum would be equal to 180

3x - 1 + 5x = 180
8x = 180 + 1
x = 181/8
x = 22.625

Hope this helps!

4. The Blackhawk Eagles scored 4 points more than the Lane Vikings. The
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Lane Viking's Score is 17

Black Eagles's Score  is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Lane Viking's Score be x and Black Eagles's Score be y.

Black Eagles's Score = 4+ Lane Viking's Score

so y = 4 + x    (Equation 1)

Total Score = 38

Black Eagles's Score + Lane Viking's Score = 38

so y + x =38     (Equation 2)

Putting y's value from Equation 1 in Equation 2

4 + x + x = 38

2x = 38-4

x=34/2

x=17

Putting value of x in Equation 1

y = 4 + 17

y = 21

315. You just need to take the total and subtract by 60.
