Answer:

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel is: \mathbf{y=-2x+11}

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (b) perpendicular is: \mathbf{y=\frac{1}{2}x+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular to the given line.

First we will find slope of the line given in graph

The slope can be found using formula: Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have points (1,6) and (2,2)

Slope is:

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{2-6}{2-1}\\Slope=\frac{-4}{2}\\Slope=-2

Part a)

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel

When the lines are parallel, they have same slope. So, slope of required line: m = -2

Using slope m =-2 and point(4,3) we can find y-intercept b

y=mx+b\\3=-2(4)+b\\3=-8+b\\b=3+8\\b=11

The equation of line will be:

y=mx+b\\y=-2x+11

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel is: \mathbf{y=-2x+11}

Part b)

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (b) perpendicular

When the lines are perpendicular they have opposite slope. So, slope of required line: m = 1/2

Using slope m =1/2 and point(4,3) we can find y-intercept b

y=mx+b\\3=\frac{1}{2}(4)+b\\3=2+b\\b=3-2\\b=1

The equation of line will be:

y=mx+b\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+1

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (b) perpendicular is: \mathbf{y=\frac{1}{2}x+1}

Solve and show how you did: -2x + (12 - 9) = 2 + 9 + 2x
Norma-Jean [14]
Remove parentheses
-2x + 12 - 9 = 2 + 9 + 2x

Simplify -2x + 12 -9 to -2x + 3
-2x + 3 = 2 + 9 + 2x

Simplify 2 + 9 + 2x to 2x + 11
-2x + 3 = 2x + 11

Add 2x to both sides
3 = 2x + 11 + 2x

Simplify 2x + 11 +2x to 4x + 11
3 = 4x + 11

Subtract 11 from both sides
3 - 11 = 4x

Simplify 3 - 11 to - 8
-8 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4
-8/4 = x

Simplify 8/4 to 2
-2 = x

Switch sides
x = -2

-(-10x-8)=-(4x+10)<br> A)-4<br> B)-2<br> C)-3<br> D)3<br> show work
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

<h3>             None of given </h3><h3>                  x = -1²/₇ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-10x - 8) = -(4x + 10)

  10x + 8 = -4x - 10

      -8            -8

     10x  =  -4x - 18

      +4x     +4x

     14x = -18

      ÷14    ÷14

      x = -¹⁸/₁₄ = -⁹/₇ = -1²/₇

I think you meant -(10x-8)=-(4x+10)

Then:

-(10x - 8) = -(4x + 10)

  -10x + 8 = -4x - 10

      -8            -8

     -10x  =  -4x - 18

       +4x     +4x

     -6x  =  -18

      ÷(-6)    ÷(-6)

<h3>         x = 3     D)</h3>
