Equations of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y = - 1/5 ?
0
what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y =-1/2 x + 5?
1/2
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y = 3/4x + 2?
3/4
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown on the graph?
4
Which statement is true about the graphs of the two lines y= -8x -5/4 and y= 1/8x + 4/5
The lines are perpendicular to each other because -8 and 1/8 are opposite reciprocals of each other.
Which statement is true about the graphs of the two lines y = -6 and x = 1/6?
The lines are perpendicular to each other because the graph of y = -6 is a horizontal line with a slope of 0, and the graph of x = 1/6 is a horizontal line with a slope that is undefined.
Is AB parallel CB to ? Explain.
Yes, because both lines have a slope of 4/3
Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-2, 3), B(-3, -6), and C(2, -1). Is triangle ABC a right triangle? If so, which angle is the right angle?
Yes, the right angle is angle C.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1?
undefined
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through the point (-5, 4)?
x = -5
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -1/3x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 5)?
y = -1/3x + 7
What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, 1) and is perpendicular to the graph of 2x + 3y = -5?
y = 3/2x + 10
What is the y-intercept of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y= 3/5x+ 10 and passes through the point (15,-5)?
y= -5/3+20
