Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to the line through the given points.

P(-2, 4), Q(6, -2)

Answer 1

First we would find the slope of these points....

\(\Huge{\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}\) We input the coordinates...

\(\Huge{\frac{-2 - 4}{6-(-2)}}\) Simplify....what would the slope be?

Answer 2

3/4?

Answer 3

oops sorry i thought you were looking for the perpendicular slope :P

Answer 4

so its wrrong?

Answer 5

If you were to find a slope parallel to yours it would be exactly the same so the parallel slope would also be \(\LARGE{-\frac{3}{4}}\)

Answer 6

Find the slope of the line that contains the following points.

A(5, 6), B(10, 8)

Answer 7

so for this one wuld it be 5/2 or 2/5?

Answer 8

For this one use the slope formula....

\(\Huge{\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}\) We input the coords...

\(\Huge{\frac{8-6}{10-5} \implies \frac{2}{5}}\)

Answer 9

Find the slope of a line perpendicular to a line through the given points.

E(5, 7), F(3, 1)

Answer 10

what about this one ?

Answer 11

First find the slope of the points...

\(\Huge{\frac{1-7}{3-5}}\) What would this simplify down too?

Answer 12

so it would be -3?

Answer 13

Close it would actually be \(\LARGE{3}\) because a negative divided by a negative is a positive....

Now to find the perpendicular slope we would flip the whole number into a fraction and change the sign as well....

\(\Huge{3 \implies - \frac{1}{3}}\)

Answer 14

Line M passes through points (4,2) and (-7,1). What is the slope of a line N that is parallel to line M?

Answer 15

i also need help with this one

Answer 16

First find the slope of the points....

\(\Huge{\frac{1-2}{-7 - 4}}\) What is the slope?

Answer 17

-1/11 ?

Answer 18

they are both negative so does that turn positive ?

Answer 19

Correct ^^ they do turn to a positive so it will be \(\LARGE{-\frac{1}{11}}\)

Answer 20

oops positive

Answer 21

not negative

Answer 22

\(\LARGE{\frac{1}{11}}\)*

Answer 23

Given the points A(0, 0), B(e, f), C(0, e) and D(f, 0), determine if line segments AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular or neither.

Answer 24

ignore that last post

Answer 28

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line through the given points.

P(0, -4), Q(5, 1)

Answer 29

Im sorry but i must go now

Answer 30

dont go lol

Answer 31

its about 11 pm so I got go :( sorry....but if you ever need help in the future and see me on just tag me in your question ^^
