A line has a slope of -13. There is a second line that passes through points (-7,-5) and (6,-4) . Would these lines be parallel

, perpendicular or neither ?

<h3>Answer: The lines are perpendicular</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the two given points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - (-5))/(6 - (-7))

m = (-4 + 5)/(6 + 7)

m = 1/13

The slope of the line through the two given points is 1/13.

This is not equal to -13, which was the slope of the first line, so the two lines are not parallel.

However, the two lines are perpendicular because multiplying the two slope values leads to -1

(slope1)*(slope2) = (-13)*(1/13) = -1

note: It might help to think of -13 as -13/1 to help multiply the fractions.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 1/4 x – 2 and passes though the point (5, –2).
zlopas [31]

\textsf{Let y = ax + b the line we want to find.}

\textsf{We know that the slope of y = ax + b is the inverse of the slope of } \mathsf{ y = \frac{1}{4}x - 2.}

\textsf{Thus:}

\mathsf{a = \dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{4}} = 4}

\textsf{As y = 4x + b passes thought (5, -2):}

\mathsf{-2 = 4 \cdot 5 + b  \Rightarrow 20 + b = -2 \Rightarrow b = -22}

\textsf{Hence the line y = 4x - 22 is perpendicular to }\mathsf{y=\frac{1}{4}x - 2}\textsf{ and passes for the point (5, -2).}
