need help on questions 4-7 HARD GEOMETRY WORK :/

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

OpenStudy (sshayer):

for 4. and 5. find the slopes if they are equal then parallel if negative reciprocal of each other then perpendicular.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

so is 4 parallel?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

correct.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

and 5 is perpindular right?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

slopes of 5th are

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

did you get my message? and what do I do with question 6

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[\frac{ 4-6 }{ -2-5 }=\frac{ -2 }{ -7 }=\frac{ 2 }{ 7 }\] and\[\frac{ 6-7 }{ 4-3 }=\frac{ -1 }{ 1 }=-1\]

OpenStudy (sshayer):

now what can you say?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

neither slopes are equal or negative reciprocal of each other.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

what is that for of what you just put up? which question?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

5th ,slopes

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

so for number 5 its neither?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[slope ~of~a~line~passing~through~ two~points=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x_{1} }\]

OpenStudy (sshayer):

correct.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

what do I do for number 6?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

for two lines parallel slopes are equal. so you can delete two options for 6th.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

so it can be either b or d

OpenStudy (sshayer):

you have to delete B and D check for A and C for the remaining option substitute the given point and check for which it is true.

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

its a

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

??

OpenStudy (sshayer):

no

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

@sshayer you there?

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

I double checked and everything :( omg im going to fail

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

Wait its the other one I just tried again

OpenStudy (sshayer):

put x=-4 ,y=-1 in C

OpenStudy (sshayer):

for 7th \[midlle~ point x=\frac{ x _{1}+x _{2} }{ 2 },y=\frac{ y _{1}+y _{2} }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

i got 7 already

OpenStudy (lisa2345):

so for 6 is it c

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@lisa2345 For #6 All equations of parallel lines have the same slope. Can you tell me the slope of the line: y=(1/2)x+6
