Line WV is perpendicular to both line RS and line TU. On a coordinate plane, 3 lines are shown. Line V W goes through (negative

1, 5) and (1, 5). Line R S goes through (negative 5, 3) and (5, 1). Line T U goes through (negative 1, negative 2) and (4, negative 3). Which statement must be true about line TU? Line TU is parallel to line RS. Line TU is perpendicular to line RS. Line TU has no slope. Line TU has a slope of –5.

Answer:

The True statement for a line TU is

Line TU is parallel to line RS

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let,

point R( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -5, 3)

point S( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (5 , 1)

and

point T( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -1, -2)

point U( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (4 , -3)

We have Line RS and Line TU

Slope of any Line having Two points ( x₁ , y₁) and ( x₂ , y₂) Given by

Slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }

\therefore Slope(RS)=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }\\\\\\\\\therefore Slope(RS) =\frac{1-3}{5-(-5) }\\\\\therefore Slope(RS) =\frac{-2}{10}\\\\\therefore Slope(RS) =\frac{-1}{5}\\

Similarly,

\therefore Slope(TU)=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }\\\\\\\\\therefore Slope(TU) =\frac{-3-(-2)}{4-(-1) }\\\\\therefore Slope(TU) =\frac{-1}{5}\\\\\therefore Slope(RS) =\frac{-1}{5}\\

Now,

Slope of RS = Slope of TU

We Know, if the slopes are equal then the lines are parallel.

Therefore line TU is parallel to line RS is the true statement about line TU.

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, 5) and has a slope of -1. Include your
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

y = -x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula for a straight line is

y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)

x₁ = -1; y₁ = 5; m = -1     Substitute the values

  y – 5 = -1(x + 1)          Remove parentheses

  y – 5 = -x - 1              Add 5 to each side

       y = -x + 4

The graph is a straight line with a y-intercept at y = +4 and a slope = -10/10

= -1.

The equation is y=mx+b.
ycow [4]

Answer: both ways are acceptable

Step-by-step explanation: When writing equations of lines in this form,

we usually keep the "b" value or the constant term as a fraction.

However, if you prefer decimals, you can absolutely change

it to a decimal to visualize is better if you'd like, it's really your choice.

For example, if the equation of a line was y = -3/4x - 7/4, I could leave

it how it is or I could change the -7/4 to -1.75 giving me y = -3/4x - 1.75.

A line has a y-intercept of 6 and a slope of 1/2. what is the equation in slope intercept form
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

y= 1/2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is  the y intercept. Using the information given, we know the slope-intercept form of the line is y=1/2x+6
