Answer:

The slope of a line perpendicular to this line would be 2/7 and the slope of a line parallel to this line would be -7/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find these, we first need to solve the equation for y.

7x + 2y = 1

2y = -7x + 1

y = -7/2x + 1

Now we can see the original slope is -7/2 due to it being the coefficient of x. We know parallel lines have the same slope, so the parallel slope is simple -7/2.

We also know perpendicular slopes have opposite and reciprocal slopes. So we take the -7/2 and change the sign (giving us 7/2). Then we flip it to get 2/7.

The line x = k intersects the graph of the parabola x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5 at exactly one point. What is k? Thank you! :)

Answer:

49/8 is the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system

x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5

x=k

We want to find k such that the system intersects once.

If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.

This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.

Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.

Subtracting k on both sides gives

0=-2y^2-3y+5-k

The discriminant can be found by evaluating

b^2-4ac.

Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that

a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.

So we want to solve the following equation for k:

(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0

9+8(5-k)=0

Distribute:

9+40-8k=0

49-8k=0

Add 8k on both sides:

49=8k

Divide both sides by 8"

49/8=k

13 units.

Since both are negative, and they’re just asking for distance between, you can just subtract 12 from 25 to get 13.
