Part (a)
<h3>Answer: y1 and y3 are perpendicular</h3>This is because the two slopes 2 and -1/2 multiply to -1. Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1 assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal.
=====================================================
Part (b)
Graph each line to see where they cross. The three points of intersection are
(0,4)
(2,-2)
(4,2)
The order of the points doesn't matter.
You could also form three systems of equations pairing up the equations, and solving each system. That way you can find the points of intersection. Graphing may be a better and faster route in my opinion. See the diagram below.
ANSWER
The rule is given by the relation,
EXPLANATION
We need to check and see if there is a constant difference between the y-values.
We can see that, there is a constant difference of 2.
This means that the table represents a linear relationship.
Let the rule be of the form,
Then the points in the table should satisfy the above rule.
So let us plug in
This implies that,
Our rule now becomes,
We again plug in another point say, (-1,-1) in to equation (1) to get,
we solve for m now to obtain,
We now substitute back in to equation (1) to get
