Are these graph equations perpendicular? y=9x -6 and 2y= 9-x

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

what do u think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think they are not.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

how can u say so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, now you are trying to befuddle me. I don't know why. Just looking at the equations, they don't look similar so I am thinking they are not parallel but perpendicular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

do wanna learn how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, you can try to show me, but others have tried and I just don't get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am intellectual, but not when it comes to math. I am a complete moron.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lol, okay.. let me try..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For some reason, it just does not compute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, let's try...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hang on...I have to go pee first.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

how to judge that two equations are perp.. there is a simple formula for that: \[\Large m_1 * m_2 = -1\] this means that the PRODUCT of both slopes must be equal to -1. now.. lets insert the values. \[\Large m_1 * m_2 = -1\] \[9 * -\frac{1}{2} = -1\] \[-\frac{9}{2}\] now as we get this answer which is not equal to -1, so this means that these arent parallel. ================================================== in some problems where they ask u to find the equation of a parallel line, this same formula is used! =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, I am back....lets begin.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

the show as already begun, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Khan....I just don't get it. This stuff just goes right over my head. I honestly don't know how you understand it because I don't. Give me a fetal pig to discect and I can explain to you exactly what is what but this algebra stuff is like a foreign language to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I appreciate you trying to teach me, but you are wasting your time. You might as well be speaking chinese to me.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Haha, alright np.. the answer is that they arent parallel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or Packistani....LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thank you.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

PAKISTANI.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hehe, uw..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really try to answer each question on my own before I resort to this site and many times I really can get the answer but sometimes I just can't.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Oh i see.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn't you tell me you were from Pakistan? OMG, I am sorry if you didn't.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, i told u.. but the spelling u wrote was wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PAKISTAN

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

yes, thats the country name, but im a Pakistani, i live in Pakistan, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pakistani..Okay that is like living in America but we are called Americans.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

100%. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So are you of the Muslim faith?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yess!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Ramadan has started, im fasting today! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow, I find that really interesting.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does Ramadan mean?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

why is that intresting? just asking!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I love learning about other religions.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

ramdan is the name of a islamic month, like june july. in this month it is obligatory on every muslim adult to fast for 30 days! thts cool.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do you kneel down and pray several times a day? Please don't be offended. I am truly curious.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

thts a np.. u can ask questions. lol. i dont mind.. & yes, i pray 5 times a day too!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you don't eat for a month?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow, I find that really fascinating.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Haha, no.. v will die otherwise. its like, from Dawn till Dusk we dont eat anything! after the sun has set, v can eat and drink! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow. That's just incredible. So once the sun goes down can you eat anything you want?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Oh YEAS!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So tell me...what is the point of not being able to eat during the day.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

thts the Fast. and got has ordered that.. this helps in many things: like yearly we get our body refreshed, as when we dont eat any food.. this helps body to get time for refreshing the inner parts! -heal a host of minor (and sometimes major) health disorders -help you lose weight and keep it off -cleanse your body of metabolic wastes and toxins -improve your skin tone and health, making you look younger -stimulate new cell growth, making you feel younger -strengthen your immune system and natural defenses -improve glandular health and hormonal balance -increase mental clarity -enhance your moods, enjoy a more positive outlook -give you more energy and enthusiasm -enhance your spiritual connection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow! That makes PERFECT sense.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i guess so..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hehe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You "guess" so? Dude? It sounds so incredible. I mean that in a good way.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

and during fast it is extremely prohibited to do something wrong, like say bad words.. say a lie.. or things like that..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, i meant.. YES!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do you wear one of those funky little hats?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

today is the first one, there are still 29 left. then after the fasts, we celebrate Holy days. like u guys celebrate Christmas, we celebrate EID.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

funky little hats as in?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

No i dont.. that isnt necessary, if u want to wear them u can.. if u dont want to.. u dont.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't mean to be mean. I just thought you wear hats.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that is the type of hat I mean.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

thts alright i can undrestand that.. no i dont wear any of those.. they arent necessary.. if u want u may.. if u dont, then dont.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, I think you all all quite handsome.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hehe, thnks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
