Answer:
George's mistake would be:
Instead of 2x + 40, she has made - x + 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b
y + 20 = 2(x +20)
y + 20 = 2x + 40
- 20 - 20
----------------------
y = 2x + 20
(Should have been the answer)
BUT,
George's Solving:
y + 20 = 2(x + 20)
y + 20 = -x + 20
George's Mistake would be her miscalculation during her 2nd step. Where instead of distributing 2 to (x + 20), she has changed it to -x + 20, when in reality, it should have been 2x + 40.
Two lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is - 1.
So, you just need to find the slope of each line and find out the product of their slopes.
I will do one example for you.
L1: y = 3x + 5
L2: y = - 3x + 14
L3: y = -x/3 + 14
The slope of a line is the coefficient of the x.
So the slopes are:
L1: slope 3
L2: slope -3
L3: slope -1/3
So now multiply the slopes of each pair of lines:
L1 and L2: 3 * (-3) = - 9 => No, they are not perpendicular
L2 and L3: (-3) * (-1/3) = 1 => No, they are not perpendicular
L1 and L3: (3) * (-1/3) = -1 => Yes, they are penpendicular.
I think this is the answer
I think 1/4 is the answer
