Answer:
a. The slope of a line parallel to the given line is 1
b. A point on the line parallel to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is (1,7)
c. The slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is -1
d. A point on the line perpendicular to the given line, passing through (−4, 2), is (3,-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line in Slope-intercept form is:
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
a. For the line
You can identify that:
By definition, two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Then, the slope of a line parallel to the given line is:
b. The equation of the line in Point-slope form is:
Where m is the slope and () is a point of the line.
Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:
Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":
For :
Then, you get the point (1,7)
c. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, then the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is:
d. Given the point (-4,2), substitute this point and the slope of the line into the equation:
Give a value to "x", substitute it into this equation and solve for "y":
For :
Then, you get the point (3,-5)
If the negative square root is found to be one of your solutions, then that is indicative of a pair of imaginary roots (the imaginary i). According to the conjugate rule, if you have one solution that is imaginary, you will have another but with the opposite sign. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is found to be 2 - i, then its conjugate, 2 + i is also a solution. They will ALWAYS go in pairs. Same thing with radical solutions. If one solution is found to be
then will also be a solution.
