Answer:

k = -1/2

y= -1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

We know y = -4 and x=8

-4 = k*8

Divide each side by 9

-4/8 = 8k/8

-1/2 =k

y= -1/2x

Find equations of the line that is parallel to the z-axis and passes through the midpoint between the two points (0, −4, 9) and
Lorico [155]

Answer: x = -4, y = 0.5, z = 5 +t

Hi!

The line L whose direction is parallel to vector V a passes through point A

is parametrized

P_L = Vt + A

Where t, is a real number, and P_L is a any point on line L.

In this case the direction is that of the z-axis , so V = (0, 0, 1)

A is the midpoint between points B = (0, -4, 9) and C=(-8, 5, 1)

The midpoint is A = (B + C)/2 = (-4, 0.5, 5)

Then the line is:

P_L = (0,0,1) t + (-4, 0.5, 5)

The equations for each coordinate are:

x = -4\\y = 0.5\\z = 5 + t
