Substitute the slope and the coordinates of point P in the equation of the line y=mx+b and then solve for b in each equation
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The first step is calculate the slopes of these two lines. Remember that if two lines are parallel then the slopes are the same (m1=m2) and if two lines are perpendicular then the slopes is equal to m1*m2=-1
The second step is substitute the slope m2 and the coordinates of point P in the equation of the line in slope-intercept form y=mx+b and then solve for b in each equation
-2.5>-3 because the bigger a negative number is like -15,-18, etc the smaller it’s value actually gets so -2.5 is greater because it is closer to 0 on a number line.
