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.
In order to find the expression that is equivalent to (t*s)(x), use the following steps: s(x) = x - 7t(x) = 4x^2 - x + 3 (t*s)(x) = t(s(x)) = t(x - 7) = 4(x - 7)^2 - (x - 7) + 3 = 4(x - 7)^2 - x + 7 + 3 The correct result would be 4(x – 7)2 – (x – 7) + 3.
