Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the line is completely vertical there is no slope.
When a line is completely vertical, the setup is x = ___ (fill in the blank with the number that the line intersects on the x axis, in this case -1.)
When a line is completely horizontal (not applicable in this problem) the setup is y = ___ (fill in the blank with the number the line intersects on the y axis.)
Answer:
x=-2;y=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
y=5x+3
y=3x-1
3x-1=5x+3
-2x=4
x=-2 y=5x+3 y=5×(-2)+3 y=-7
Answer:
The equation that represents the new path is y=(1/2)x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope of the give line
we have
y=-2x-7
so
the slope m is equal to
m=-2
step 2
Find the slope of the perpendicular line to the given line
Remember that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal of each other
so
we have
m=-2 -----> slope of the given line
therefore
The slope of the perpendicular line is equal to
m=1/2
step 3
With m=1/2 and the point (-2,-3) find the equation of the line
y-y1=m(x-x1)
substitute
y+3=(1/2)(x+2)
y=(1/2)x+1-3
y=(1/2)x-2 -----> equation that represent the new path
