Math Problem Statement

Write a linear equation in point-slope form and standard form for various points and conditions such as perpendicularity and parallelism.

Solution

Let's go through these questions one by one and solve them.

#2:

Write a linear equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,4)(2, -4) and is perpendicular to y=25x4y = \frac{2}{5}x - 4.

  • Step 1: Find the slope of the given line. The slope of y=25x4y = \frac{2}{5}x - 4 is m=25m = \frac{2}{5}.
  • Step 2: For perpendicular lines, the slopes are negative reciprocals. The slope of the perpendicular line is m=52m_{\perp} = -\frac{5}{2}.
  • Step 3: Use the point-slope formula yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) with the point (2,4)(2, -4) and slope 52-\frac{5}{2}. y+4=52(x2)y + 4 = -\frac{5}{2}(x - 2)

#3:

Write a linear equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,3)(-2, 3) and is parallel to 2x+y=52x + y = -5.

  • Step 1: Rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form. 2x+y=5    y=2x52x + y = -5 \implies y = -2x - 5 The slope is m=2m = -2.
  • Step 2: For parallel lines, the slopes are the same. So the slope of the new line is m=2m = -2.
  • Step 3: Use the point-slope form with the point (2,3)(-2, 3) and slope 2-2. y3=2(x+2)y - 3 = -2(x + 2)

#4:

Write a linear equation in standard form of the line that passes through the point (2,0)(2, 0) and is perpendicular to y=12xy = \frac{1}{2}x.

  • Step 1: The slope of the given line is m=12m = \frac{1}{2}.
  • Step 2: The slope of the perpendicular line is m=2m_{\perp} = -2.
  • Step 3: Use point-slope form to find the equation. y0=2(x2)    y=2x+4y - 0 = -2(x - 2) \implies y = -2x + 4
  • Step 4: Convert to standard form. 2x+y=42x + y = 4

#5:

Write a linear equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,1)(-2, -1) and is perpendicular to 2xy=22x - y = -2.

  • Step 1: Rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form. 2xy=2    y=2x+22x - y = -2 \implies y = 2x + 2 The slope is m=2m = 2.
  • Step 2: The slope of the perpendicular line is m=12m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{2}.
  • Step 3: Use the point-slope form with the point (2,1)(-2, -1) and slope 12-\frac{1}{2}. y+1=12(x+2)y + 1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x + 2)

#6:

Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (3,0)(3, 0) and is perpendicular to y=4y = 4.

  • Step 1: The line y=4y = 4 is a horizontal line with slope m=0m = 0.
