Answer:

Start with the flashlight parallel to the wall. If you incline it slightly away from the wall, the (conical) beam will still hit the wall and you'll get a hyperbola. It is only after the angle of the flashlight to the wall is greater than the angle of the light cone that the hyperbola vanishes at infinity.

Find the slope that is PARALLEL and PERPENDICULAR to the equation of the line y = -1/2x+6.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

parallel: -1/2

perpendicular: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

lines that are parallel have the same slope because they never intersect

lines that perpendicular, have the opposite reciprocal slope.

y = mx + b

where m is the slope

y = -1/2x + 6

-1/2 is the slope.

the slope in the equation given: -1/2

the slope parallel to the line given : -1/2

the slope perpendicular : opposite reciprocal, so the opposite of -1/2 is 1/2 and the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.
