Two perpendicular lines intersect at the origin. If the slope of the first line is -1/2, what is the equation of the second line

?

bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have <u>negative reciprocal</u> slopes.

now, they both intersect at 0,0, namely they both pass through it, we know the slope of the first one, so

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{2}{1}\implies 2}}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2, and runs through (0,0).

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=2(x-0)\implies y=2x

Please help, i forgot which was which... (positive or negative coefficient)

<h3>Answer:  Negative</h3>

Reason:

The template y = ax^2+bx+c applies to any quadratic to graph out a parabola. The coefficient for the x^2 term is 'a', and it solely determines whether the parabola opens upward or downward.

If 'a' is negative, then the parabola opens downward. The way to remember this is that 'a' being negative forms a negative frown.

On the other hand if 'a' is positive, then it forms a positive smile, and the parabola opens upward.

In this case, the points are fairly close to a parabola opening downward. This means 'a' is negative and a < 0.

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Reflection across the Y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because only the x-coordinates changed. If these coordinates were reflected across both the x and y axis' the sign of both the x and y coordinates would have changed. When  you reflect a point across the x axis, the y-coordinates change their sign. When you <u><em>reflect </em></u><u>a point across the y axis</u>, the <u>x-coordinates change</u> their sign.

Hope this helps,
