Please let me know if I figured these out correctly.
Directions: For the line with the given equation, find the slope of a parallel line and the slope of a perpendicular line.
1)y=6/5x + 144
slope of parallel: 6/5
slope of perpendicular: -5/6
2)4y-4x=16
slope of parallel: 1
slope of perpendicular: -1
*** I do need help with this one: y-7=0
I figured out that y=7, just not sure how to figure out the slopes.
Thanks !!!
Looks good!
For y = 7; this is a flat line passing through the point (0,7). The slope is 0.
To find the slope of a line, you need to rewrite the equation of the line in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope. In the given equation y - 7 = 0, you can rewrite it as y = 7, which is already in slope-intercept form.
For the equation y = 7, the slope is actually undefined because it is a horizontal line. In slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x represents the slope. Since the equation y = 7 does not have an x-term, its coefficient is zero. However, division by zero is undefined, so we cannot determine a slope for a vertical line. Therefore, the slope for y = 7 is undefined.
In summary:
- For the equation y = 7, the slope is undefined.
