anonymous · Answer

is there a question?

anonymous · Answer

yes Give an example written in slope intercept form (y = mx + b) of a line parallel to your solution in Part 2.Provide an explanation in a complete sentence of the relationship between the slopes of parallel lines.

My solution for the question before this was Y=2x-9 Need to find a line parallel to this solution.

anonymous · Answer

pick any line with slope 2

anonymous · Answer

the ":explanation in complete sentences" is that parallel lines have the same slope

anonymous · Answer

OOOH okay that makes so much sense thank you so much!

anonymous · Answer

so you can make it $y=2x$ or $y=2x+1$ or $y=2x-5$ or $y=2x+anything$

@satellite73  does a perpendicular line have the same Y intercept then?

anonymous · Answer

not sure what you are asking
it is possible that two perpendicular lines have the same y intercept, for example $$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3$$ has the same y intercept as $y=2x+3$ (they are both 3) but they certainly don't have to have the same y intercept

anonymous · Answer

maybe if you write the exact question as written i can give a better answer

anonymous · Answer

Give an example written in slope intercept form (y = mx + b) of a line perpendicular to your solution in Part 2. Provide an explanation in a complete sentence of the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines.

i have to do the same thing just find a line thats perpendicular to Y=2x-9

anonymous · Answer

ok forget the y intercept, it has nothing to do with it

anonymous · Answer

the slope of $y=2x-9$ is $2$ right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

the slope of the perpendicular line will be the "negative reciprocal" of 2, which means flip it and change the sign

anonymous · Answer

so the slope of the perpendicular line will be $-\frac{1}{2}$

anonymous · Answer

Okay got it i was writing that down as soon as you said flip the sign. All of this is coming back to me now.

anonymous · Answer

so you can write ANY line with slope $-\frac{1}{2}$ you choose

anonymous · Answer

you good from there?

anonymous · Answer

yes thank you
