Question

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

Answer 1

parallel: y = -3x + 6
perpendicular: y = 1/3 x + 2 and 2/3

parallel: y = -3x + 10
perpendicular: y = 1/3 x

parallel: y = -1/3 x
perpendicular: y = -3x

parallel: y = 1/3 x + 1
perpendicular: y = 3x - 1

Answer 2

Do you know what the slope is for a perpendicular line?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Then what is the perpendicular slope for -3?

Answer 5

rise 3 run 1

Answer 6

on oops down 3 right 1

Answer 7

no wait oops again...

Answer 8

It's not the last two because the slope of a parallel line is the same. The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope, so it would be 1/3. The second one passes through (3,1), so that would be it.

Answer 9

Can I trust you?
This is my final exam?
