Please help
Ooo linear equations! Have you changed it into slope-intecept yet?
oh yeahhhhhhhhh
nope, one second e.e
y=(-1/2)x+3
Nice :) So for two lines to be parallel they much contain the same slope and different y-intercepts. For perpendicular lines the slope are reciprocal. So we have a slope of \(\bf{\large-\frac{1}{2}}\) the parallel slope would be \(\bf{\large-\frac{1}{2}}\). We have a slope of \(\bf{\large-\frac{1}{2}}\) and our perpendicular slope would be flipped fraction and changed sign...\(\bf{\large{2}}\). Which can we determine already is parallel?
line q
q? are we looking at the same diagram, cause none are stated as line q. https://assets.questioncove.com/attachments/1510169903-5a035d1c7d3539d95416f800-image.png
crap i was on the wrong page e.e ignore that
XD ohhh ok
the 1st one x'D
nice :D
Now if we look at the form of \(\bf{x+2y}\) we know it ends with a slope of \(\bf{-\frac{1}{2}}\) correct? Then any with this form will also end with the same slope. Which contains the same form?
the last one?
yes!
Now it's best to change the second and third into slope-intercept form. Can you do that?
2nd is y=2x-4
so x+2y=-2 is Parallel to y=(-1/2)x+3?
yup.
If you change it into slope-intercept it will contain the same slope, so yes.
Correct, the second is `y=2x-4`. How would this be classified? `REMEMBER parallel lines have similar slopes and perpendicular lines are reciprocal.`
perpendicular i think
Correct!
Now if we change the third one into slope-intercept it would become \(\large\bf{y=\frac{1}{2}x+1}\). Perpendicular lines are reciprocal `2` and parallel lines are the same `-1/2` the slope of the this equation is neither of these. So it is classified as neither.
ah oki cx
i have two more questions if thats oki, i just need you to explain how to do it though
if you can of course cx
I would love too, but I have to go and pick up my bro from school and my sis. I won't be back for more than an hour. If you still need help when I get back I can!
Oki thank you cx and hope that goes well <3 cx
