Determine slope of any line perpindicular to GH. (-1,2) (-2,-1)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Otrada [13]3 years ago

Answer:

Perpendicular slope = – 1/m = -1/3 = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-1,2)
  • (-2,-1)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-2,\:-1\right)

m=\frac{-1-2}{-2-\left(-1\right)}

m=\frac{-1-2}{-2-\left(-1\right)}

m=3

We know that a line perpendicular to another line contains a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line, such as:

slope = m = 3

perpendicular slope = – 1/m = -1/3 = -1/3

Thus, the slope of any line perpendicular to GH = -1/3

Solnce55 [7]

ANSWER

y =  - 2x - 5

EXPLANATION

We can use any two points to determine the slope.

The line passes through;

(-3,1) and (-5,5).

The slope is given by

m =  \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

This implies that;

m =  \frac{5 - 1}{ - 5 -  - 3}

m =  \frac{4}{ - 2}  =  - 2

We can now find the equation using the formula;

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y   - 1 =  - 2(x  + 3)

Expand:

y =  - 2x -6 + 1

y =  - 2x - 5

Answer:

y\tan{x°}

Step-by-step explanation:

well, by using definition of tan of an angle

let the distance between Earth and shooting star is d.

since \frac{d}{y}=\tan{x°},

then d=y\tan{x°}
