Answer:
The lines blue and green are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
step 1
Find the slope of the blue line
we have the points
(-1,-3) and (0,3)
substitute
step 2
Find the slope of the red line
we have the points
(3,-3) and (4,2)
substitute
step 3
Find the slope of the green line
we have the points
(-4,-1) and (2,-2)
substitute
step 4
Compare the slopes
Blue line ---->
Red line ----.
Green line --->
so
The slope of the blue line and the green line are opposite reciprocal ( their product is equal to -1)
therefore
The lines blue and green are perpendicular
Answer:
a) not proportional
b) proportional; k =
Step-by-step explanation:
a) for any proportional equation, the line must pass through the origin. The equation in a) is y = 4x + 1, and the '+1' is the y-intercept. This means that the line does not pass through the origin, so x and y cannot increase by the same amount (i.e. they are not proportional).
Another way to determine this is is to use the y = kx base. If you have an equation that fits that it's likely proportional.
Here, if the equation was only y = 4x then it'd be proportional because u can see that k = 4. This is not the equation though, and the 4x + 1 doesn't fit to the y = kx formula so it can't be proportional.
b) straight away you can see that there's no 'c' term (y = mx + c) which means the y-intercept is 0, so the line passes through the origin. While this does not immediately mean the line is proportional, you can make sure that it is by checking it fits with the y = kx equation.
y = -(3/5)x fits with y = kx, with k being -3/5
