8. which of the following equations is parallel to the line passing through A(-2, 7), B(-2,-2)
y=-2 y=x 3x=5 -2x=7y
Ok, the lines that are paralyses to each other always have the same slope.
parallel, I meant.
ok
find the slope of the line that has points (-2, 7) (-2,-2) by plugging them into the slope formula, do you know the slope formula?
I got y=-2 but I feel like it's wrong?
hold on, that can't be, b/c that has no slope, it is a vertical line.
Draw a sketch.
ya m= y1-y2/x1-x2
can you find the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 7) and (-2,-2) just plug these points into the slope formula.
Understood?
ya wait though
the slope is undefined, b/c it is a vertical line. sorry.
if you plug the points into slope formula you will also see that.
that's what i thought. i was like the didnt ask me for the slope
Yeah, that was my bad!
there is no slope.
