FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -1?

Back

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -1 is 1.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to a line with a slope of -\frac{5}{3}?

Back

The slope of a line that is parallel to a line with a slope of -\frac{5}{3} is also -\frac{5}{3}.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the equation of a line given a point and a slope?

Back

Use the point-slope form: y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where (x_1, y_1) is the point and m is the slope.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

The point-slope form is y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where m is the slope and (x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what is the slope of a line perpendicular to it?

Back

The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2 is -\frac{1}{2}.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (5, 2) and is perpendicular to the line y = -x - 2?

Back

The equation is y = x - 3.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (-3, 2) and is parallel to the line y = -\frac{5}{3}x?

Back

The equation is y = -\frac{5}{3}x - 3.
