Powered by AIDetermine the slope using \(m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)\). Using a point-slope form such as \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\), convert this to the standard form \(Ax + By = C\). For points (-4, 0) and (0, -3), the slope is -3/4. The equation in slope-intercept form is \(y = -3/4x - 3\). Rearrange to obtain \(3x + 4y = -12\).
Start with the point-slope form, \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\), using the provided slope and point. Simplify and rearrange to obtain the standard form \(Ax + By = C\). For instance, with slope -7/4 and point (4, -5): \(y + 5 = -7/4(x - 4)\). Rearrange to get \(7x + 4y = 8\).
To verify perpendicularity, check that the product of their slopes is -1. For \(y = 3x + 4\) and a line through (-3, 2) with slope -1/3: calculations yield \(m_1 * m_2 = 3 * -1/3 = -1\), confirming they are perpendicular. Algebraic deductions and rearrangements into standard form further verify perpendicular lines like \(x + 3y = 3\).
To write the equation through points (0, 1) and (2, 5), find the slope: \(m = (5 - 1)/(2 - 0) = 2\). Use this slope in the point-slope form \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\). Converting from \(y = 2x + 1\) to standard form results in \(2x - y = -1\).
To convert the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\) to standard form \(Ax + By = C\), rearrange the equation to move all terms to one side, ensuring that A, B, and C are integers. For \(y = -x + 1\), move x to the left to get \(x + y = 1\).
To determine the slope of a line given two points, you use the slope formula: \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). This formula calculates the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates across the two points. For example, with points (-4, 0) and (0, -3), the slope is \(m = \frac{-3 - 0}{0 + 4} = -\frac{3}{4}\).
For a line perpendicular to another, the slopes are negative reciprocals. Given the line \(y = 3x + 4\), its slope is 3, so the perpendicular slope is -1/3. Using the point-slope form with point (-3, 2): \(y - 2 = -1/3(x + 3)\). Simplify to get the standard form \(x + 3y = 3\).
The process for writing the slope-intercept form of a line involves using the equation \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept. For example, with a slope of 1/4 and a y-intercept of 0, the equation becomes \(y = \frac{1}{4}x\).
Vertical and horizontal lines have unique characteristics: vertical lines are \(x = a\) and horizontal lines are \(y = b\). They don't require conversion through slope calculations. For example, the line through (2, 0) when parallel to \(y = -5/2x\) is horizontal, so it takes the form \(2y = 10\) upon simplification .
First, determine the slope of the given line, since parallel lines share the same slope. Then use the point-slope form \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) with this slope and the given point. For a line parallel to \(y = 5/3x + 2\) and passing through (-3, -5), use the slope 5/3: \(y + 5 = 5/3(x + 3)\). Simplifying this will yield the equation \(5x - 3y = 0\).
