Perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. What that means is if u have a slope of 1/2, to find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign.......flip 2/1, change the sign -2/1 or just -2. So the negative reciprocal for the slope of 1/2 is -2.
A. y = 1/5x + 3.....slope here is 1/5, so for a perpendicular line, u r gonna need an equation with the slope of -5.....and that would be : y + 3 = -5(x + 2).
B. Parallel lines will have the same slope. y = 5x - 2...the slope here is 5...so a parallel line will have a slope of 5.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(8,-2)...x = 8 and y = -2
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
-2 = 5(8) + b
-2 = 40 + b
-2 - 40 = b
-42 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = 5x -42
Answer:
x=-5, y=-8. (-5, -8).
Step-by-step explanation:
-x+2y=-11
5x-8y=39
---------------
5(-x+2y)=5(-11)
5x-8y=39
---------------------
-5x+10y=-55
5x-8y=39
--------------------
2y=-16
y=-16/2
y=-8
-x+2(-8)=-11
-x-16=-11
-x=-11+16
-x=5
x=-5
Answer:
option b
Step-by-step explanation:
replace x and y with the x and y of the ordered pair
option a: 2(4)+4(5)=6(4)-5
solve
8+20=24-5
28=19 not true
option b:2(5)+4(4)=6(5)-4
solve
10+16=30-4
26=26 true
Answer:
240.8
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Calculate time taken
16:43 - 14:56 = 1 hour and 47 minutes
→ Write the speed formula and make distance the subject
Speed = Distance ÷ Time ⇔ Distance = Speed × Time
→ Convert 1 hour and 47 minutes into decimal format
1.78333333 or 
→ Substitute values into formula
135 × = 240.75
I'm going to use the slope formula which is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through
Slope of line PQ
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 - (-7))
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 + 7)
m = (-14)/(2)
m = -7
The slope of line PQ is -7
Slope of RS
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-5))/(-2 - 3)
m = (0 + 5)/(-2 - 3)
m = (5)/(-5)
m = -1
The slope of line RS is -1
Because the slopes are NOT equal (one is -7 and the other is -1), this means the lines are NOT parallel.

Answer: Choice B) No, the lines have unequal slopes
