Question

I need help solving these!!!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

4. y = -1/2x + 5

5. y = -1/3x + 3

6. y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For #4:

Because these lines are parallel, we know that they will have the same slope.

To get b, or the y-intercept, I just started at the point (4,4) and used the slope to work backwards to the y-axis. This is really not the best way to do it (especially with big numbers) but it works in a pinch. Also, I forgot the better way :/

For #5:

These lines are perpendicular. That means that the slopes are reciprocals of the other and, when multiplied with each other, the answer will be -1.

The reciprocal of 3 is -1/3.

To get the y-intercept, I did the same as above.

For #6:

x = 2 is a vertical line. To make a line perpendicular to it, that is, to make a line that intersects with it at 90°, the answer line will have to be horizontal.

That means that our answer is y = ?

We know that the line passes through a very specific point (2,1), and the line provided in the question already gives us the x value of this point. All we have to do is set y equal to the y value.

So, y = 1.

I hope this helps!
