Considering the linear equations
1) (y )/2+3x-10=(x+y)/2
2) 3x/4+4=2y/3+2
a) What is the slope of the line represented by the given equation?
There are 2 equations.
It's not clear, but ---
Solve the equation for y
--> y = mx + b
m is the slope.
-------------------
b) What is the slope of any line parallel to the given line?
Parallel lines have the same slope.
------------
c) What is the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line?
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.
m1 = -1/m2
----------------
d) How many different lines are perpendicular to this line?
an infinite #
--------------------
e) Find the equation of the line which is perpendicular to the given line and which passes through the point (2, 5).
