1. Find the slope of any line perpendicular to the line through points (2, 6) and (1, 3).

I got -3

2. Write the equation of the line with x-intercept (-3, 0) and undefind slope.

I got y = -3

3. A line passing through (0, 2) and (5, y) is perpendicular to a line with slope -5/8. Find the value of y.

I got 9

Please tell me if these are correct or not. If they are wrong I will try to figure them out again. Thanks.

one and two are correct but three isn't. you're close though! good luck!

oh put it this way, perpendicular slope is gonna be like its exact opposite.....that's your hint!

for #1, remember that the slope a line perpendicular is the negative inverse. Since the slope of the line through your two points is 3, the perpendicular slope is -1/3

#2 is correct

for #3, the slope of the line is (y-2) / 5 , so the perpendicular slope is -5 / (y-2)
since -5 / (y-2) = -5/8
y-2 = 8

so y = 10

slope= y1-y2
x1-x2 (2,6) (1,3) 6-3
x1 y1 x2 y2 2-1
3/1 = 3 the first one is 3.. since this is a positive slope answer is positive.
I think number 2 is right , but i think they want you to write an equation something like,example, y= 0 + -3 ,and for number 3 i don't understand the questioning i think your suppose to look at the graph to answer. since , number 1 was wrong it might affect your answer.

*sigh* So many answers.

On #2 - slope is undefined for vertical lines. y = -3 is a horizontal line, so it would have slope 0. You want an equation like x = -3.

ok - Tiny Pricy. i take advantage of Yardley soaps - oatmeal and almond - exfoliates and moisturizes slightly.
