given that line L1 has a slope of m1 = -5/2. Determine the slipe of line L2 if lines L1 and L2 is perpendicular

1 answer:

8 0

Lines that are pendicular has slopes that multiply to -1

if m1=-5/2, then m2 times m1=-1
-5/2 times ?=-1
times both sides by -2/5
?=2/5

m2=2/5

the slope of line 2 is 2/5

Write an equation for the line that passes through (4,-6) and (-7,-6). Is the line parallel or perpendicular to the y-axis?

Answer:

y = -6, perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the points to find the slope of the line:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{-6-(-6)}{-7-4} =\frac{-6+6}{-7-4}=\frac{0}{-11}=0$

Then, using point-slope form, choose one set of coordinates to use for y1 and x1:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$

$y-(-6)=0(x-4)$

$y+6=0$

$y=-6$

Since the slope of the line is zero, it's a horizontal line. The y-axis is a vertical line, which means that the line is perpendicular to the y-axis.

what is the y-intercept of the function, represented by the table of values below x= -2,1,2,4,7 y=15,6,3,-3,-12

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: The y-intercept would be 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2, 15), (1, 6), (2, 3), (4, -3), (7, -12) are the coordinate points, you can graph it to find the intercept. I used the graphing calculator desmos.
