when parallel slopes of 2 lines are equal and when perpendicular slope is - inverse
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
so what do you think the slopes in this case will be
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oppisite?
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
y=x+5
so parallel slope will be 1
and perpendicular slope will be -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
parallel: y = x − 1
perpendicular: y = −x + 1?

my options
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
okay ,now to find your answer you gotta use the formula-
y-y1=m(x-x1)
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
u will use this formula when you will be asked to find the equation of the line passing through a point or two points
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
so parallel equation will be-
y+1=1(x+2)
y+1=x+2
y=x+1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this confused me

now perpendicular-
y+1=-1(x+2)
y=-x-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you, i hope i'll understand it during my test xD
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
which one say
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
u mention which portion
