Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b "m" is the slope
First i would isolate the "y" in the equation.
2x + y = 4 Subtract 2x on both sides
2x - 2x + y = 4 - 2x
y = 4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4
The given line's slope is -2.
For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite/negative reciprocals (flipped sign and number)
For example:
slope is 2
perpendicular line's slope is -1/2
slope is -2/3
perpendicular line's slope is 3/2
The given line's slope is -2, so the perpendicular line's slope is 1/2.
The 3rd option is your answer
Ok so I’m assuming the question is how the tall is we need to find the Angle of the sun so
Student : 175
Shadow: 2.3
Hypotenuse: 175.0151136
Using -cos(175/175.0151136) we find the
Suns angle: .753 Above him/her
Our tree’s shadow:8.2
Using the suns angle we use cos(x
Answer: Parallel: y=-2/7x-2 1/7 Perpendicular: y=7/2x+13
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+7y=14
Subtract 2x from both sides.
7y=-2x+14
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate y.
y=-2/7x+2
Parallel:
Plug in x and y with same slope as the original.
-1=-2/7(-4)+b
Solve for b:
-1=8/7+b
-2 1/7=b
y=-2/7x-2 1/7
Perpendicular:
Plug in x and y with the negative inverse of the original slope.
-1=7/2(-4)+b
Solve for b.
-1=-28/2+b
-1=-14+b
13=b
y=7/2x+13
