Equation for the line perpendicular to the line -6x-7y=-6 having the same y-intercept as 8x-5y=10

Solving   <span>8x-5y=10   for y helps us to identify the y-intercept:

-5y = -8x + 10.  Dividing both sides by -5, we get (8/5)x -2.  Therefore, y = (8/5)x - 2; the y-intercept is (0,-2).

The equation  </span><span>-6x-7y=-6   can be solved for its slope in the same manner.
7y = -6x + 6;  then y = (-6/7)x + 6/7.  Its slope is -7/6.  A line perpendicular to this line has slope equal to the negative reciprocal of -7/6,  which is 6/7.

So, using the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b becomes y = (6/7)x -2.</span>

What is the slope of -1,-7 and 3,9
makkiz [27]

Answer:

<em>The slope is 4.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula.

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

m = \dfrac{-7 - 9}{-1 - 3}

m = \dfrac{-16}{-4}

m = 4

The graph below represents which of the following functions?
erica [24]

This is a more difficult one to explain. Let's start with the line to the right.  It has a slope (m) of \frac{-2}{2} = -1 and a y-intercept of +3 (continue the line to see where it crosses the y-axis). So, the equation of that line is: y = -x + 3 when x ≥ 2. This can also be written as y = 3 - x when x ≥ 2.  The only option that has that equation is A.

Answer: A
