(x,y)
sub points to see if we get true statemtn
(2,12)
x=2 and y=12
12-5=5(2)
7=10
false
no, (2,12) is not a point
(-2,-5)
x=-2
y=-5
-5-5=5(-2)
-10=-10
true
(-2,-5) is a soltuion
(-2,-5) is the only solution given that works
<span>Two lines are parallel if their slope is the same.
You want to write 8x + 4y = 5 in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We need to isolate y in the given equation. The number next to x is the slope.
8x + 4y = 5
4y = -8x + 5
y = (-8x +5)/4
y = -2x + 5/4
The slope of the line we want is -2.
Two lines are perpendicular if the slope of the first line times the
slope of the second line produces a product of negative one.
Since our slope is -2, we know that -2 times 1/2 yields -1.
The slope of the line perpendicular is 1/2.
