Math Problem Statement

1. La ecuación de una recta perpendicular a la recta 2x + 5y = 13. 2. La ecuación de una recta paralela a la recta -4x + y = 3.

Solution

Let's analyze the two questions in the image.

Problem 1:

It asks for the equation of a line perpendicular to the given line 2x+5y=132x + 5y = 13.

  1. First, rewrite the given equation 2x+5y=132x + 5y = 13 in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope: 5y=2x+13y=25x+1355y = -2x + 13 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \frac{-2}{5}x + \frac{13}{5} The slope of this line is 25\frac{-2}{5}.

  2. The slope of a line perpendicular to this will be the negative reciprocal of 25\frac{-2}{5}, which is 52\frac{5}{2}.

  3. Now, we check which of the given options has a slope of 52\frac{5}{2}:

    • Option C has the equation y=52x+4y = \frac{5}{2}x + 4, which has the correct slope.

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Problem 2:

It asks for the equation of a line parallel to the given line 4x+y=3-4x + y = 3.

  1. Again, rewrite the given equation 4x+y=3-4x + y = 3 in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b: y=4x+3y = 4x + 3 The slope of this line is 4.

  2. For parallel lines, the slopes must be the same. So, we are looking for an equation with a slope of 4.

  3. Let's check the options:

    • Option A has the equation y=4x5y = 4x - 5, which has the correct slope of 4.

Thus, Option A is the correct answer.
