Give the slope of a line perpendicular to AB

m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation in slope intercept form [ y = mx + b ] for line AB. Find the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

8-5/7-4

3/3

1

Find the y-intercept.

5 = 1(4) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

So the equation of the line AB is y = x + 1.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the original line.

1 -> -1/1 -> -1

Best of Luck!

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
