How do you find a parallel aandmd perpendicular line using a graph

The problem asks for the equations of the lines, so you use the information given in the graph to help you write the equations.

The given line has a "rise" of -4 for a "run" of 1, hence a slope of -4/1 = -4. This is the information you need from that line to write the equations of lines through the given point, (4, 3).

(a) The parallel line will have the same slope. You are asked for "an equation", so the simplest is to provide the necessary equation in point-slope form.

The equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

... y - k = m(x - h)

For m = -4, (h, k) = (4, 3) your parallel line is ...

... y - 3 = -4(x -4)

(b) The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line: -1/-4 = 1/4. Using the same point-slope form, your perpendicular line has equation ...

... y - 3 = (1/4)(x - 4)

ch4aika [34]

Definition: A function is "even" when f(x) = f(−x) for all x.

Geometrically speaking, the graph face of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, meaning that its graph remains unchanged after reflection about the y-axis.

If point (6, 8) is one the points on the graph of f(x), then f(6)=8 and since function is even, you can state that f(-6)=f(6)=8. This means that point (-6,8) must also be a point on the graph. Geometrically it means that the output of a negative x-value and its opposite is the same.

Answer: correct choice is A.

Answer:

It's 1/2  I found this out by subtracting 3/4 - 1/3= 5/12 and if you put that into a decimal it would be .41. So that 1/4= .25 and 1/2= .50. You could figure out that it’s closed to 1/2.
