Provide an appropriate response.
For the points P(1, 5), Q(4, 8), R(3, 1) and S(12, –8), indicate whether PQ is perpendicular to RS.
Explain.
The product of the slopes of the lines is 1, therefore PQ is not perpendicular to RS.
The slopes of the lines are the same, therefore PQ is not perpendicular to RS.
The slopes of the lines are the same, therefore PQ is perpendicular to RS.
The product of the slopes of the lines is –1, therefore PQ is perpendicular to RS.
Find the equation of the graph.
Given points P, Q, R, and S, determine whether linesPQ and RSare perpendicular, parallel, or neither.
P(1, 7), Q(2, 10), R(9, 1), S(18, –2)
Identify the quadrant in which the point is located.
When force is applied to a spring, its length changes. The length L and the force F are related by a
linear equation. A certain spring is initially 18 inches long when no force is applied. When 9
pounds of force is applied, the length becomes 22 inches. What is the equation that relates length
and force?
Find an equation in slope–intercept form of the line satisfying the specified conditions.
Through (1, 9), parallel to 9x – 7y = –33
Find the x– and y–intercepts for the equation. Then graph the equation.
