04.02 Slope - Geometry
The equation of line WX is 2x + y = −5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that contains point (−1, −2)? y = 1/2 x + 3/2 y = - 1/2 x + 3/2 y = 1/2 x − 3/2 y = - 1/2 x − 3/2
y = 1/2 x − 3/2
The equation of line AB is y = 2x + 4. What is the equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains the point (3, −2)? y = 2x − 4 y = 1/2 x − 1/2 y = - 1/2 x − 7/2 y = 2x − 8
y = 2x − 8
