Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

1

(a)

Calculate slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ = (8, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (10, 7)

m =
(7-3)/(10-8) =
(4)/(2) = 2

(b)

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/(2)

(c)

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = -
(1)/(2) , then

y = -
(1)/(2) x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (8, 3) into the partial equation

3 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 4 = 7

y = -
(1)/(2) x + 7 ← equation of perpendicular line

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

2

(a)

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 4)

m =
(4-5)/(4-3) =
(-1)/(1) = - 1

(b)


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(-1) = 1

(c)

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 3 = 2

y = x + 2 ← equation of perpendicular line
