Answer:

D) y = -1/3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. This means that since the slope of this line is 3, the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be -1/3 because:

Original slope: 3 (3/1)

Reciprocal (flipped): 1/3

Negative reciprocal (opposite sign): -1/3

The only equation with a slope of -1/3 is D. Therefore, that is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to finding the line perpendicular to the one given is teh slope. The slope is the opposite reciprocal of the original line.

m=3

perpendicular m=-1/3

Now that we know the slope, we can see which of our answer choices have -1/3 as the slope. We can see D is the only option that has -1/3 for slope.

Gerry thinks that the points (4,2) and (−1,4) form a line perpendicular to a line with slope 4. Do you agree? Why
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is these lines are not perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (4, 2)

B (-1, 4)

slope = m = 4

Perpendicular lines mean that these lines cross and form an angle of 90°. Also, the slope of perpendicular lines is negative reciprocals.

Process

1.- Find the slope of the second line and compare it to the slope given.

slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

Substitution

slope = \frac{4 - 2}{-1 - 4}

Simplification and result

slope = \frac{-2}{5}

-2/5 is not a negative reciprocal of 4, so these lines are not perpendicular.

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(5,2) and (-5,6)

is

y=-2/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(5,2) and (-5,6).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (5,2), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=5 and y1=2.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-5,6), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-5 and y2=6.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m= 6 - 2/-5 - 5 or m= 4-10 or m=-2/5

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=-2/5x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(5,2). When x of the line is 5, y of the line must be 2.

(-5,6). When x of the line is -5, y of the line must be 6.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=-2/5x+b. b is what we want, the -2/5 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (5,2) and (-5,6).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(5,2). y=mx+b or 2=-2/5 × 5+b, or solving for b: b=2-(-2/5)(5). b=4.

(-5,6). y=mx+b or 6=-2/5 × -5+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-2/5)(-5). b=4.
