Part (a)
<h3>Answer: y1 and y3 are perpendicular</h3>This is because the two slopes 2 and -1/2 multiply to -1. Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1 assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal.
=====================================================
Part (b)
Graph each line to see where they cross. The three points of intersection are
(0,4)
(2,-2)
(4,2)
The order of the points doesn't matter.
You could also form three systems of equations pairing up the equations, and solving each system. That way you can find the points of intersection. Graphing may be a better and faster route in my opinion. See the diagram below.
<h3>Answer: (2, 2)</h3>
==============================================
Explanation:
The phrasing "translated along <4,6>" is another way of saying "shift 4 to the right, shift 6 up"
In general, "translated along <m,n>" is the same as writing . If m is positive, then we shift m units to the right. If m is negative, then we shift to the left. The same story happens with the n, but we focus on the y coordinate.
-------------
With all that in mind, starting at F(-5,-9) and translating along <4,6> has us arrive at (-1, -3). Add 4 to the x coordinate and add 6 to the y coordinate.
We can say
Showing that (-5,-9) moves to (-1,-3)
This is after the first translation, but there's a second translation.
We'll apply the same idea, but different numbers this time
So (-1,-3) moves to (2,2)
Overall we have
- (-5,-9) move to (-1,-3) after the first translation
- (-1,-3) move to (2,2) after the second translation
Therefore, the original point ends up at (2,2) which is the final answer
--------------
Extra info:
A nice shortcut is that the vectors <4,6> and <3,5> can be added to get <4+3,6+5> = <7,11>. So overall, we're shifting 7 units to the right and 11 units up when we combine the two translation vectors.
