Line m passes through the points (5, 1) and (8, 6) while line n passes through the points (-4, 3) and (-1, 8). Which statement a

ccurately describes the relationship between the two lines? A. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are perpendicular. B. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are perpendicular. C. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are parallel. D. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel.

Find the equations of the lines...

First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so

y=mx+b becomes:

y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)

1=5(5)/3+b

1=25/3+b

3/3-25/3=b

b=-22/3 so 

y1=(5x-22)/3

.... now y2...

m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...

y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)

8=5(-1)/3+b

8=-5/3+b

24/3+5/3=b

b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...

y2=(5x+29)/3

Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (1, -3)?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 7x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3)

m = \frac{-3-4}{1-2} = \frac{-7}{-1} = 7, thus

y = 7x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (2, 4), then

4 = 14 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 14 = - 10

y = 7x - 10 ← equation of line
