1. Write the slope-intercept equation of the line perpendicular to y = 5/2 x - 2, which passes through the point (0, 2). A. y = 5x + 2 B. y = -2/5x + 2 C. y = 2x + 5 D. y = 1/2x + 5 2. Write the equation y - 2 = 2(x - 3) in standard form. A. y - 2x = 4 B. 2x - y = -6 C. 2x + y = 6 D. 2x - y = 4 3 .If you are finding the line perpendicular to x + 3y = 5, what is the slope of the perpendicular line? A. -3/5 B. 1/3 C. 3 D. -3
4. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation parallel to y = 7x + 2, which passes through the point (1, -3). A. y = 7x - 10 B. y = -1/7 x + 2 C. y = 7x - 3 D. y = -7x + 10
Which one are you working on?
2.
if you're on number 2 try to get all the variable (the parts with numbers) on one side of the equals sing. keep the constant on the other.
So would it be A ?
no because we get y - 2 = 2(x - 3) y-2=2x-6 y-2x=-4 so which answer is this (it needs to be changed a little to get rid of the negative)
D?
yes, good job one problem at a time form now on though...
from*
okay :)
Ok, remember that if you have a line with slope = m
A perpendicular line has slope = -1/m
If you have a line with slope = 2, a perpendicular line has slope = -1/2
It'll have to be either A or B. right?
Hey, what is the 4th?
first you need to find the slope of that line.
oh yea we were looking at the wrong one lol it's the one below it.
I just see 3 problems
u see in the reply area the first one.
Ok.
remember that two parallel lines has the same slope.
the slope of the line y = 7x + 2 is?
7
Right!
Now you can substitute the coordinates of the point (1,-3) and the slope into this equation.\[y = mx+b\]
so you get: \[-3 = 7*1 + b\]
solve for b and it's almost done.
b= -10
Good job!
So the answer is?
A, B, C or D?
D?
You're close.
y = mx + b
A?
Right! You got it!
Ask whatever you don't have clear yet.
Sorry for my english, I'm not proud of it!
No i got it. Thanksa lot for helping me. U made me get 100% on this assignment. thank you so much for ur help. I will be coming to u if i have any other question tht i need help on.
And it's okay
Ok, good night =)
