B) y=3x - 10 Yes or No?

C) y=2x + 4

Respuesta :

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 is in this form with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slope

• The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other

A

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x - 8 has slope m = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

3 and - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] are negative reciprocals

This line is perpendicular to y = 3x + 2

B

y = 3x - 10 has slope m = 3

This line is parallel to y = 3x + 2

C

y = 2x + 4 has slope m = 2

This line is neither parallel nor perpendicular to y = 3x + 2


The line which is parallel to the line [tex]y = 3x+2[/tex] is (y = 3x - 10) and the line which is perpendicular to the line  [tex]y = 3x+2[/tex] is  [tex]y =- \dfrac{1}{3}x-8[/tex] and can be determined by using the slope intercept form.

Given :

Equation - [tex]y = 3x+2[/tex]

First, find the slope of the line [tex]y = 3x+2[/tex].

m = 3

Now, consider each equation to determine which line is parallel or perpendicular to the line (y = 3x + 2).

A). [tex]y =- \dfrac{1}{3}x-8[/tex]

The slope of the equation  [tex]y =- \dfrac{1}{3}x-8[/tex] is:

[tex]\rm m_1 = -\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

When the two lines are perpendicular to each other then their slopes are: [tex]\rm mm_1=-1[/tex]

[tex]\rm mm_1=-\dfrac{1}{3}\times 3=-1[/tex]

Therefore, the line [tex]y =- \dfrac{1}{3}x-8[/tex] is perpendicular to the line  [tex]y = 3x+2[/tex].

B). y = 3x - 10

The slope of the equation  y = 3x - 10  is:

[tex]\rm m_2 = 3[/tex]

When the two lines are parallel to each other then their slopes are same. Therefore, the line (y = 3x - 10) is parallel to the line [tex]y = 3x+2[/tex].

C). y = 2x + 4

The slope of the equation  (y = 2x + 4)  is:

[tex]m_3 = 2[/tex]

Therefore, the line (y = 2x + 4) is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the line  [tex]y = 3x+2[/tex].
