Lines m and p are perpendicular. if the slope of line m is -3 what is the slope of line p

Mathematics

For two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1, in this case our reference line has a slope of -3 so:

-3m=-1  divide both sides by -3

m=-1/-3

m=1/3

So the perpendicular line will have a slope of 1/3

4(x+5) = 4x +5x it's probably easy but i'm dumb
Irina18 [472]
<span>4(x+5) = 4x +5x

Simplify by distributing and combining like terms
</span>(4)(x)+(4)(5)=4x+5x
4x+20=4x+5x
4x+20=(4x+5x)
4x+20=9x

Subtract 9x from each side
4x+20−9x=9x−9x
5x+20=0
<span />
Subtract 20 from each side
−5x+20−20=0−20
−5x=−20

Divide each side by -5
-5x ÷ -5 = -20 ÷ -5
x = 4

P.S this was actually harder than most algebra problems, so don't beat yourself about it :D<span /><span /><span /><span /><span />

Write in slope intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The desired equation is y = x + 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move right from (-2,6) to (4,12), x increases by 6 and y also increases by 6.  Thus, the slope, m, m = rise / run, is m = 6/6, or just m = 1.

Start with the slope intercept form y = mx + b.  Since m = 1, we now have y = x + b.  Subbing 4 for x, 12 for y, we can find b:  12 = 4 + b.  Thus, b = 8.

The desired equation is y = x + 8.
