Answer:

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$ and "b" is y-intercept with coordinates (0, b)

(0, 3) ⇒ b = 3

(4, 1), (6, 0)

m = $\frac{0-1}{6-4}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

y = -  $\frac{1}{2}$  x + 3

Find the slope of the line that is (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular to the line through the pair of points.

ddd [48]

Answer:

a) The slope of the line is parallel to the another line m=4

b) The slope of the line is perpendicular to the another line m= $\frac{-1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1:-

Slope of a line :-

If θ is the inclination of a line 'l' then tanθ is called the slope or gradient of the line 'l'.The slope of a line is denoted by m=tanθ

The slope of a line given two points m= $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Parallel lines:-

Two non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are parallel

Perpendicular lines:-

Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular to each other if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

$m_{2} = \frac{-1}{m_{1} } \\$

Step 2:-

a)The slope of a line when given two points (-1,-4) and (0,0)

$m = \frac{0-(-4)}{0-(-1)} =4$

Two non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are parallel

$m_{1} = m_{2}$

Therefore the slope of the line that is parallel to the another line

$m_{1} =m_{2} =4$

Step 3:-

b) Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular to each other if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

$m_{2} = \frac{-1}{m_{1} } \\$

$m_{2} =\frac{-1}{4}$

Therefore the slope of the line is perpendicular to the another line is

$m=\frac{-1}{4}$
