Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the y-component is the same, -2, in these two points. That means y does not change as x changes, and therefore we conclude that the slope of the line connecting the two points is m = rise / run = 0.

-2 - (-2)

Alternatively, use m = -------------- = 0

3 - 13

The value of the slope in question is zero: m = 0

Tell whether the lines through the given points are parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

Paha777 [63]

$Slope\,\,1=\frac{-1}{slope\,\,2}$

So, Both lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify if lines:

Line 1: (8,12)(7,-5)

Line 2: (-9,3)(8,2)

are parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

Lines are parallel if they have same slopes i.e slope 1= slope2
Lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative inverses of each other i.e slope 1= -1/slope 2

The formula used to find slope is:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Finding Slope of Line 1:

The points are: Line 1: (8,12)(7,-5)

$x_1=8, y_1=12, x_2=7,y_2=-5$

Putting values in the formula:

$Slope\,\,1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$Slope\,\,1=\frac{-5-(12)}{7-8}$

$Slope\,\,1=\frac{-5-12}{-1}$

$Slope\,\,1=\frac{-17}{-1}$

$Slope\,\,1=17$

So, Slope of line 1 is 17

Finding Slope of Line 2:

The points are: Line 2: (-9,3)(8,2)

$x_1=-9, y_1=3, x_2=8,y_2=2$

Putting values in the formula:

$Slope\,\,2=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$Slope\,\,2=\frac{2-(3)}{8-(-9)}$

$Slope\,\,2=\frac{2-3}{8+9}$

$Slope\,\,2=\frac{-1}{17}$

So, Slope of line 2 is $\frac{-1}{17}$

Since $Slope\,\,1=\frac{-1}{slope\,\,2}$

So, Both lines are perpendicular

What is the value of the expression 4x+y2y−x when x = 2 and y = 4?

My name is Ann [436]

The answer should be the first one, 2. Do you need and explanation?
4x+y/2y-x

Start by replacing all of the variables.
4(2)+4/2(4)-2

Now work multiply.
8+4/8-2

Now add.
12/6

That is your fraction. But you must simplify it.

Its simplifies to 2.
