Answer: y = -3x -7 or 3x + y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be the same, they need to have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. First convert the equation 3x+y =5 into slope intercept form.

3x + y = 5 subtract 3x from both sides

-3x -3x

y = -3x + 5 in this case we know that the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 5.

Now since they will have the same slope input the x and y coordinates and find the equation that will be parallel to it.

-4 = -3(-1) + b

-4 = 3 +b

-3 -3

b= -7

Since the y intercept is -7 the equation will be y = -3x -7 or 3x + y = -7

Lydia graphed ΔXYZ at the coordinates X (0, −4), Y (2, −3), and Z (2, −6). She thinks ΔXYZ is a right triangle. Is Lydia's asser

katrin [286]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices of the triangle are X(0, -4), Y(2, -3) and Z(2, -6).

Slope of XY ( $m_{1}$ ) = $\frac{y-y'}{x-x'}$

= $\frac{-3+4}{2-0}$

( $m_{1}$ ) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Similarly, slope of XZ ( $m_{2}$ ) = $\frac{-6+4}{2-0}$

( $m_{2}$ ) = (-1)

$m_{1}\times m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Which should be (-1) if XY and XZ are perpendicular to each other.

Now we can say that XY and XZ are not perpendicular.

Therefore, Lydia's assertion that ΔXYZ is a right triangle is not correct.

Option (4) will be the answer.
