Question

HELP! The question says... Write an equation in point-slope form of the line through point J(4,1) with the slope -4. Can anyone HELP QUICK?

Answer 1

@midhun.madhu1987

Answer 2

Point slope form
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)
(x1,y1) =(4,1)
m = -4
Put the values and solve

Answer 3

Agree @sangya21

Answer 4

so, the answer would be 4x+y=15?

Answer 5

@midhun.madhu1987 @sangya21 @KamiBug

Answer 6

(y -1) = -4(x-4) ------ Point slope form
y -1 = -4x +16

Answer 7

15 or 17?

Answer 8

I got 15.

Answer 9

y -1 = -4x +16
4x + y = 17

Answer 10

Agreed @midhun.madhu1987 ;)

Answer 11

ha ha .. lol ;)

Answer 12

thanks you guys, will give all a medal! can yall help with another?

Answer 13

Sure

Answer 14

Most importantly.. you understood it?

Answer 15

Yes, I made the error when I subtracted.

Answer 16

fine... :)

Answer 17

the other question says, lines a,b,c, and d are in the same plane. line a is parallel to line c. lines b and c are perpendicular to line d. based on this, tell how lines are related. justify your answer.

Answer 18

Line a || Line c - given
Line c perpendicular to Line d
thus line d is perpendicular line a
line d is perpendicular line b
so how is line b related to line a?

Answer 19

ok.. I'm lost here. so not into geometry ://

Answer 20

Taking an example
if line a is parallel to line b
and line b is perpendicular to line c
then line c is perpendicular to line a

Answer 21

Got it?

Answer 22

yes, I get it know. so in the question I asked line a and b would be related because they are both parallel to each other?

Answer 23

this is the figure of your question
and the given points are
Line a || Line c - given
Line c perpendicular to Line d
line d is perpendicular line b
so how is line b related to line a?
and how is line d related to line a?

Answer 24

Line a and line d are also perpendicular to each other.

Answer 25

correct
and relation between line a and line b?

Answer 26

so that means, it means lines a and b are perpendicular to? *fingers crossed I got this right*

Answer 27

or does it mean they are parallel...

Answer 28

From fig do you think they are perpendicular?

Answer 29

b is parallel to a

Answer 30

ok.. thanks for your help and patience. and excuse my minor slowness. :( lol

Answer 31

Your welcome. :)

Answer 32

I'm way better in Civics and English, lol.

Answer 33

Civics is way above my level. Maths is easy but social is a torture.

Answer 34

Everyone thinks the same thing. So not true, I find it interesting unlike math sometimes.
