Select the equations that are parallel and perpendicular to y = x + 5 and that pass through the point (-2, -1). parallel: y = -x - 1 perpendicular: y = x + 2 parallel: y = x - 1 perpendicular: y = -x + 1 parallel: y = x + 1 perpendicular: y = -x - 3 parallel: y = 2x - 2 perpendicular: y = -2x - 1

OpenStudy (callisto):

Parallel => same slope Perpendicular => slope = -1/(slope given in the equation). You can eliminate two options from these information. Then, 'pass through the point (-2, -1). ' Plug the values into the equation and see if the left side is equal to the right side. If so, that's the equation.

is the first one it

OpenStudy (callisto):

How did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its the second one but i can try again to make sure..

OpenStudy (callisto):

I can help but I can't tell you the answer. Which part are you stuck at?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when tryin to find the parllel

OpenStudy (callisto):

First you have to find the slope. What is the slope of the given equation?
