Sergio wants to write equations in the form y = mx + b for the lines passing through point P that are parallel and perpendicular to line h. First he finds the slopes of these 2 lines. What could he do next to find the y-intercepts?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  b = m(Px) -(Py)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the equation ...

  y = mx + b

for b gives ...

  b = mx - y

If the given point is (Px, Py), Sergio can find the y-intercepts using this equation.

For each slope (m), the corresponding y-intercept is ...

  b = m(Px) -(Py)

Answer:

Substitute the slope and the coordinates of point P in y = mx + b and then solve for b for each equation.
