Answer:
perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
start but putting each line into the standard line format
2x-y=-5
-y=-2x-5
y=2x+5
x+2y=-6
2y=-x-6
y=-(1/2)x-3
if lines are parallel the slopes would be the same. 2 is not equal to -1/2
if lines are perpendicular the slope of one would be the opposite inverse of the other.
negative inverse of 2 = - (1/2)
so the lines are perpendicular
Answer:
In the given figure the point on segment PQ is twice as from P as from Q is. What is the point? Ans is (2,1).
Step-by-step explanation:
There is really no need to use any quadratics or roots.
( Consider the same problem on the plain number line first. )
How do you find the number between 2 and 5 which is twice as far from 2 as from 5?
You take their difference, which is 3. Now splitting this distance by ratio 2:1 means the first distance is two thirds, the second is one third, so we get
4=2+23(5−2)
It works completely the same with geometric points (using vector operations), just linear interpolation: Call the result R, then
R=P+23(Q−P)
so in your case we get
R=(0,−1)+23(3,3)=(2,1)
Why does this work for 2D-distances as well, even if there seem to be roots involved? Because vector length behaves linearly after all! (meaning |t⋅a⃗ |=t|a⃗ | for any positive scalar t)
Edit: We'll try to divide a distance s into parts a and b such that a is twice as long as b. So it's a=2b and we get
s=a+b=2b+b=3b
⇔b=13s⇒a=23s

a b c or d is the answer
