1) Slope of diagonal GE: 3
2) Equation of the line: [tex]x-y=P-Q[/tex]
3) Slope of the line: 1
4) y-intercept: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
Here the diagonal FH is given by the line with equation
[tex]y-3=-\frac{1}{3}(x+9)[/tex]
This line is written in the form
[tex]y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)[/tex]
where m is the slope of the line and [tex](x_0,y_0)[/tex] are the coordinates of a point on the line.
Therefore, for line FH we have:
[tex]m=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (slope)
[tex](x_0,y_0)=(-9,3)[/tex]
Diagonal GE is perpendicular to diagonal FH (the diagonals in a square are perpendicular): this means that its slope must be equal to the inverse reciprocal of the slope of FH. THerefore, the slope of diagonal GE is
[tex]m_{GE}=-\frac{1}{m_{FH}}=-\frac{1}{-1/3}=3[/tex]
2)
Two lines are said to be parallel when they have same slope.
Here, we see that the line given in the plot passes through the points
[tex](x_1,y_1)=(0,5)\\(x_2,y_2)=(-3,2)[/tex]
Therefore the slope of the line shown is
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{5-2}{0-(-3)}=1[/tex]
This means that also the line that we want to find must have slope of 1:
[tex]m=1[/tex]
Now we can use the following form to write the equation of this line:
[tex]y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)[/tex]
where:
[tex]m=1[/tex]
[tex](x_0, y_0)=(P,Q)[/tex] is the point that must be on the line
Therefore,
[tex]y-Q=1(x-P)\\y-Q=x-P\\x-y=P-Q[/tex]
3)
In order to solve this problem, we have to find the slope of the side WV.
The coordinates of the two points are:
[tex]V(a+5,b-1)\\W(a+3,b-3)[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of side WV is given by:
[tex]m=\frac{y_W-y_V}{x_W-x_V}=\frac{(b-3)-(b-1)}{(a+3)-(a+5)}=\frac{-2}{-2}=1[/tex]
And we said that two lines are parallel if they have same slope: therefore, the slope of the line parallel to the line that contains side VW is also 1.
4)
The line given in this problem has equation:
[tex]y=\frac{4}{3}x+1[/tex]
where
[tex]m=\frac{4}{3}[/tex] is the slope of the line
[tex]q=+1[/tex] is the y-intercept of the line
Here we want to find the line perpendicular to the given line and passing through the point (4,1).
A line perpendicular to the given one must have a slope which is equal to the negative of the reciprocal of the original one, therefore:
[tex]m'=-\frac{1}{m}=-\frac{1}{4/3}=-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Now we can use the form
[tex]y-y_0 = m'(x-x_0)[/tex]
and the coordinates of the point are
[tex](x_0,y_0)=(4,1)[/tex]
Substituting,
[tex]y-1=-\frac{3}{4}(x-4)\\y-1=-\frac{3}{4}x+3\\y=-\frac{3}{4}x+4[/tex]
We have written the line in the form [tex]y=mx+q[/tex], with [tex]q=4[/tex]: so the y-intercept is 4.
