What is the answer for slope 3 and y-intercept -10?
They determine the equation of a nonvertical line in the slope-intercept form, y = 3x - 10.
What is the ratio of the rise and run between any two points on a nonvertical line called?
it is called the slope
Does any nonvertical line have a slope and y-intercept?
Normally yes, but if the slope passes through the origin (0, 0) then it will have no y intercept.
How do you find a slope of a line perpendicular?
If two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slope is -1.An equivalent way of stating this relationship is to say that one line is perpendicular to another line if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other. For example, if a line has slope 3, any line having slope - 1/3 is perpendicular to it. Similarly, if a line has slope - 4/5, any line having the slope 5/4 is perpendicular to it.
Which of the following is perpendicular to 3x-y5?
3x - y = 5 is the equation of a nonvertical line. Definition: Two nonvertical lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. So we need to find the slope of the given line, and check which of the other lines have a slope that satisfies the definition. Solve for y. 3x - y = add y and subtract 5 to both sides 3x - 5 = y which yields the slope of 3 Thus, the line that have a slope of -1/3 is the required line.
