A)
slop intercept form is y=mx+b
To find m, it is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) or (-8-7)/(2-(-1)) which then = -5
To find b, the y-intercept choose one of the points and solve for b using:
y=x(slope)+b
7= -1( -5)+b
7= 5+b
2=b (subtract 5 on both sides)
I hope this helped!
Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula
Y -y1 =m(x -x1 ) to find the line perpendicular to y = 3x -2
the shape is NOT a rhombus, because opposite sides are parallel but not all sides are congruent in length.
This shape is instead a parallelogram, where opposite sides are parallel but all sides do not have to be the same length
if 2 pairs of opposite sides are parallel, then opposite sides must be congruent, changing the angles will create nonparallel opposite sides that are unequal length and neither a parallelogram nor rhombus
