y=-2/3x+5 \" and goes through the following ordered pair (6,-7) what is the slope and the equation please show your work and explination.
\n" ); document.write( "Any paralllel line will have the same slope. Thus the slope of the line through (6,-7) is =-2/3.
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b where m=the slope & b=the Y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Using the slope & the X & Y points (6,-7) we need to solve for b
\n" ); document.write( "-7=-2/3*6+b
\n" ); document.write( "-7=-12/3+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-7+4
\n" ); document.write( "b=-3 the Y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Thus this line equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-2X/3+3
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+8%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-2x+%2B3%29+\" (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 8, y from -10 to 10, -2x +3).
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular to the following equation \" y=-2/3x+5 \" and goes through the following ordered pair (6,-7) what is the slope and the equation
\n" ); document.write( "A perpendicular line will have a slope equal to the negative reciprical of the line it is perpendicular to.
\n" ); document.write( "Thus this line will have a slope=3/2 or 1.5
\n" ); document.write( "-7=3/2*6+b
\n" ); document.write( "-7=18/2+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-7-9
\n" ); document.write( "b=-16 ans for the Y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Y=1.5x-16
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+8%2C+-20%2C+10%2C+1.5x+-16%29+\" (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 8, y from -20 to 10, 1.5x -16). \r
