Answer:
(a) -2,0 and 2,5 and (b) 2,-1 and 10,9
Question:
The question is incomplete without the answer choice. Let's consider the following:
A line has a slope of -4/5. Which ordered pairs could be points on a line that is perpendicular to this line? select two options
a) -2,0 and 2,5
b) -4,5 and 4,-5
c) -3,4 and 2,0
d) 1,-1 and 6,-5
e) 2,-1 and 10,9
Step-by-step explanation:
The ordered pairs that could be points on a line that is perpendicular to this line would have same slope as that of the line.
Let's check out the slope of the options.
The line has slope = -4/5
Slope = m = (y subscript 2 -y subscript 1)/(x subscript 2 - x subscript 1)
The coordinates is in the form of (x,y)
Find attached the workings.
a) -2,0 and 2,5
m = 5/4
b) -4,5 and 4,-5
m = -5/4
c) -3,4 and 2,0
m = -4/5
d) 1,-1 and 6,-5
m = -4/5
e) 2,-1 and 10,9
m = 5/4
Two lines are perpendicular if (m subscript 1) × (m subscript 2) = -1
In other words, the slopes
of the two lines must be negative reciprocals of each other.
If 1st slope = -4/5
For the lines to be perpendicular, the slope of every other line = 5/4
2nd slope = 5/4
The ordered pairs that are points on the line perpendicular to the line:
(a) -2,0 and 2,5 and (b) 2,-1 and 10,9
