Line m has the equation y = 1/2x - 4

Mathematics

Mandarinka [93]2 years ago

Answer:

  • As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is  

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation of the line m

y = 1/2x - 4

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y  = mx + b

Therefore,

The slope of line 'm' will be = 1/2

We know that parallel lines have the 'same slopes, thus the slope of the line 'n' must be also the same i.e. 1/2

Checking the equation of the line 'n'

x-2y=4

solving for y to writing the equation in the slope-intercept form and determining the slope

x-2y=4

Add -x to both sides.

x - 2y + (-x) = 4+(-x)

-2y = 4 - x

Divide both sides by -2

\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-x+4}{-2}

y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

comparing ith the slope-intercept form of the line equation

Thus, the slope of the line 'n' will be: 1/2

  • As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.
