What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line

Answer:

y = -x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to find the equation of a line.

Generally, the equation of a starlight line goes by the firm y = mx + c where m represents the slope and c represents the y-intercept

The first equation given, can be rewritten as ;

y = x -6 + 4

y = x - 2

From here, it is clear that our slope m is equal to 1.

Now if two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes equals -1

what i’m saying is m1•m2 = -1

Now since we know both lines are perpendicular, then we have the slope of the second line as -1 in value

Now after getting the slope, we need to write the equation using that point that falls on where the line passes through

Using;

y = mx + c for slope -1 and point (-2,-2)

we have;

-2 = -1(-2) + c

-2 = 2 + c

c = -2-2

c = -4

Thus our final equation is where we are having m to be -1 and c = -4

y = -1(x) -4

y = -x-4

ps : different equations in the note and on the screenshot. I followed what’s in the question!

What is the slope of Y=-2/3 X + 2
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

in y=mx+b, m= the slope

and if you were graphing, you would put 2 on the y axis and use the rise over run strategy for the slope

hope this helped:)

I NEED HELPP PLZ Which equation best represents the relationship shown in this graph?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

y = 2x

the formula for linear equations are y = mx+c,

where m is the gradient,

and c is the y-intercept

to find m (the gradient):

1. pick to points on the graph (eg. -2,-4 and 2,4)

2 substitute the values into the formula for gradient y2-y1/x2-x1.

m = y2-y1/x1-x2

= -4 -4/-2-2

= -8/-4

= 2

to find c (y-intercept):

- the y-intercept is where the graph cuts the y axis

- in this graph, the y-intercept is 0

hence,

c = 0

substitute m = 2 and c = 0 to y = mx+c,

y = 2x + 0

y = 2x

hence, the equation that best represents the relationship shown in the graph is y = 2x.
