Algebra.Com's Answer #139513 by swiemers(10)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. The lines are perpendicular, because the slope of two perpendicular lines is the negative reciprocal. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. Slope intercept form is y=mx + b, so you need to solve for y. Therefore, \n" ); document.write( "y=x - 1\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3. To find the equation of a line using one set of points and the slope, use the following formula: y-y^1=m(x-x^1) \n" ); document.write( "With this problem, that equation would become: \n" ); document.write( "y - 6= 1/2(x - 4) which would become: \n" ); document.write( "y - 6= 1/2x - 2 and then \n" ); document.write( "y = 1/2x + 4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! Good luck! Sandy :-) \n" ); document.write( " |
