What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 4? The slope of the line is ______?

1 answer:

8 0

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. The slope of the given equation (which is in slope-intercept form) is 1, the invisible coefficient of x. The opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1, thus the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 is -1.

Hope this helps.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

-4 and 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise over Run would give us the slope.

In the first graph, It goes down 4 while it goes 1 to the right.

This means that -4/1 = -4.

The second graph does not go up or down, meaning 0, while it goes 1 to the right.

This means that 0/1 = 0.

Answer:

The parent function is $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} +k$

That Parabola's equation is $f(x)=x^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't really explain much, but the top equation is a formula for <em>all </em>equations for a parabola. h and k are the x and y-values of the vertex. a is, well, a.

How did I find the equation of the parabola? Simple. Since the vertex is on the origin, h and k are 0. Also, because it intercepts (2,4) and (1,1), a=1.
