Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like there was an issue displaying the image directly. I'll analyze the content and proceed by extracting the necessary information from the text.
The task requires the slope of a line passing through the points and . Let's calculate the slope and then answer the two questions:
Formula for slope:
Using the points and : So, the slope of the line is .
Now, answering the questions:
- The slope of a line parallel to this line will be the same, which is .
- The slope of a line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal. So, it will be:
Let me know if you want further details on this process! Here are five related questions:
- How do you calculate the equation of the line using the slope and a point?
- What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?
- How do you find the y-intercept of a line if you know its slope and one point?
- Can two lines with the same slope ever intersect?
- How can you graph a line using just its slope and one point?
Tip: For any line in the form , the value represents the slope, and is the y-intercept.
