PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS 1. An architect is drawing a sketch for a new building. He uses graphs of lines on a coordinate plane to sketch out

his ideas. The architect has plotted the graph of the line 4x + 16y = 8.
What is the equation of the line he has graphed in slope-intercept form? (Reduce all fractions)

Answer:

1)
y=-(1)/(4)x+(1)/(2)

2)
y=4x+5

3)
y=-(1)/(4)x+4

Explanation:

Question 1:

All you have to do is solve for y to get the slope intercept form.


4x+16y=8\\16y=-4x+8\\y=-(1)/(4)x+(1)/(2)

So the equation is
y=-(1)/(4)x+(1)/(2)

Question 2:

Now for this one you have to find the line perpendicular to the previous equation.

Finding the slope:

So first we need to find the slope and usually the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite and the reciprocal to the original equation. So instead of
-(1)/(4) it will be
(4)/(1) or even easier to manage
4.

Finding the y-intercept:

For the y-intercept we need to plug in what we know into this formula....
y=mx+b

We know the slope is
4 and we could use the ordered pair that they provided us with
(-6,-19). The -6 is the x and the -19 will be the y. Now let's plug in and solve.


y=mx+b\\-19=4(-6)+b\\-19=-24+b\\b=5

Writing the equation:

Now we know all the information needed to write the equation.


y=mx+b\\m=4\\b=5

Now we just fill it in the formula...


y=4x+5

Question 3:

For a parallel equation the slope will be the same in order for them to be parallel to each other.

Finding the y-intercept:

For the y-intercept we need to plug in what we know into this formula....
y=mx+b

We know the slope is
-(1)/(4) and we could use the ordered pair that they provided us with
(-8,6). The -8 is the x and the 6 will be the y. Now let's plug in and solve.


y=mx+b\\6=-(1)/(4)(-8)+b\\6=2+b\\b=4

Writing the equation:

Now we know all the information needed to write the equation.


m=-(1)/(4)\\b=4

Now we just fill it in the formula...


y=-(1)/(4)x+4
