1. Write the equation of the line which passes through (5, –2) and is parallel to x = 4.
2. Write the equation of the line which passes through (2, 1) and is perpendicular to x = –2.
3. Write the equation of the line which passes through (–4, 2) and is parallel to y = –x + 6 in slope-intercept form.
4. Write the equation of the line which passes through (2, –3) and is perpendicular to y = 4x + 7 in standard form.
5. Using complete sentences, describe one example of a place in your everyday life of parallel lines and one example of perpendicular lines. You may also provide a digital image or self-created picture
ILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH ALL OF THESE^^^
One at a time please.
will you please just help me with them one at a time
I will help with one, then you can try the rest. First important thing to know is that parallel lines have the same slope, and perpendicular lines have 'opposite-reciprocal' slope. For example, if the first line has a slope of 1/3, the perpendicular line has a slope of -3.
For your first question, "1. Write the equation of the line which passes through (5, –2) and is parallel to x = 4. " It's a vertical line, so your equation also has to be x = something. What is x there?
Write the equation of the line which passes through (5, –2) and is parallel to x = 4. For line parallel to x=4, it is a vertical line. A vertical line has only x-intercept so it is x=5
