Practice Questions with Solution
Q1: Determine if the lines y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x β 4 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Solution:
To determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we can look at their slopes.
The slope of a line in the form y = mx + b is m.
For the line y = 2x + 3, the slope is m=2.
For the line y = 2x β 4, the slope is also m=2.
Since both lines have the same slope of 2, they are parallel.
Q2: Find the equation of the line passing through the point (3, 5) and parallel to the line 2x β 3y = 6.
Solution:
To find the equation of a line passing through the point (3, 5) and parallel to the line 2x β 3y = 6, we need to find the slope of the given line and then use this slope to construct the equation of the parallel line.
First, we rearrange the equation of the given line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
2x β 3y = 6
β3y = β2x + 6
y = 2/3x β 2
The slope of this line is m= 2/3.
Since the line we want to find is parallel to this line, it will have the same slope. So, the slope of the parallel line is also m = 2/3.
Now, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of the parallel line:
y β y1 = m(x β x1)
where (x1, y1) is the given point (3, 5) and m is the slope 2/3
Substituting
x1 = 3, y1 = 5, and m = 2/3 , we get:
y β 5 = 2/3(x β 3)
Now, we can simplify this equation to obtain the final form:
y β 5 = 2/3(x β 3)
y = 2/3x β 2 + 5
So, the equation of the line passing through the point (3, 5) and parallel to the line 2x β 3y = 6 is y = 2/3x + 3.
Q3: Determine if the lines 3x + 2y = 8 and 6x + 4y = 10 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Solution:
To determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we can compare their slopes.
First, letβs rearrange both equations into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
For 3x + 2y = 8
2y = β3x + 8
y = β3/2x + 4
For 6x + 4y = 10
4y = β6x + 10
y = β3/2x + 5/2
Comparing the slopes of both lines, we see that both lines have the same slope, which is β3/2.
Since both lines have the same slope, they are parallel.
Q4: Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 4x β 1 passing through the point (2, β3).
Solution:
To find the equation of the line perpendicular to
y = 4x β 1 passing through the point (2, β3), we first need to determine the slope of the given line.
The given line is in the slope-intercept form
y = mx + b, where
m is the slope. In this case, the slope of the given line is m=4.
The slope of any line perpendicular to this line will be the negative reciprocal of 4. So, the slope of the perpendicular line will be -1/4
Now, we can use the point-slope form of a line to find the equation of the perpendicular line. The point-slope form of a line is
y β y1 = m(x β x1),
where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.
We are given a point (2, β3) on the perpendicular line, and the slope m = β1/4. Substituting these values into the point-slope form, we get: y β (β3) = β1/4(x β 2)
Simplify: y + 3 = β 1/4x + 1/2
Now, we can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form by isolating y:
y = β1/4x + 1/2 β 3
y = β1/4x β 5/2
So, the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 4x β 1 passing through the point (2, β3) is y = β1/4x β 5/2.
Q5: Determine if the lines 2x β 3y = 5 and 6x β 9y = 15 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Solution:
To determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we can examine their slopes.
The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line.
For the first line 2x β 3y = 5, letβs rewrite it in slope-intercept form:
3y = 2x β 5
y= 2/3x β 5/3
So, the slope of the first line is m1 = 2/3
For the second line 6x β 9y = 15, letβs rewrite it in slope-intercept form:
9y = 6x β 15
y = 2/3x β 5/3
So, the slope of the second line is m2 = 2/3
Since the slopes of both lines are equal (m1 = m2 = 2/3), the lines are parallel.
So, the lines 2x β 3y = 5 and 6x β 9y = 15 are parallel.
Q6: Find the point of intersection of the lines y = 2x β 1 and y = β3x + 7.
Solution:
To find the point of intersection of the two lines, we need to set their equations equal to each other and solve for the value of x.
So, we have: 2x β 1 = β3x + 7
Now, letβs solve for x:
2x + 3x = 7 + 1
5x = 8
x = 8/5
Now that we have found x, letβs substitute it back into one of the equations to find the corresponding y value. Letβs use the first equation:
y = 2(8/5) β 1
y = 16/5 β1
y = 16/5 β 5/5
y = 16β5/5
y = 11/5
So, the point of intersection of the lines y = 2x β 1 and y = β3x + 7 is (8/5, 11/5).
Q7. Determine if the lines 4x + 2y = 6 and 8x + 4y = 12 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Solution:
To determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we can examine their slopes.
The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line.
For the first line 4x + 2y = 6, letβs rewrite it in slope-intercept form:
2y = β4x + 6
y = β2x + 3
So, the slope of the first line is m1 =β2.
For the second line 8x + 4y = 12, letβs rewrite it in slope-intercept form:
4y = β8x + 12
y = β2x + 3
So, the slope of the second line is m2 = β2.
Since the slopes of both lines are equal (m1 = m2 = β2), the lines are parallel.
So, the lines 4x + 2y = 6 and 8x + 4y = 12 are parallel.
Q8. Find the intersection point of the lines 3x + 2y = 8 and 2x β 4y = 5.
Solution:
To find the intersection point of two lines, you need to solve the system of equations formed by the equations of the lines. Letβs solve the system of equations
3x + 2y = 8
2x β 4y = 5
We can solve this system by either substitution or elimination method. Letβs use the elimination method.
Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3 to eliminate y:
6x + 4y = 16
6x β 12y = 15
Now, subtract the second equation from the first equation:
(6x + 4y) β (6x β 12y) = 16 β 15
6x + 4y β 6x + 12y = 1
16y = 1
Now, solve for y: y = 1/16
Now, substitute y back into one of the original equations to solve for x. Letβs use the first equation
3x + 2(1/16) = 8
3x + 1/8 = 8
3x = 8 β 1/8
3x = 64/8 β 1/8
3x= 63/8
x = 63/24
So, the intersection point of the lines 3x + 2y = 8 and 2x β 4y = 5 is (x, y) = (63/24, 1/16)
Q9. Determine the intersection point of the lines y = 2x + 1 and y = β3x + 5.
Solution:
To find the intersection point of two lines, you need to set their equations equal to each other and solve for the values of x and y.
Given the equations:
y = 2x + 1
y = β3x + 5
Setting them equal to each other:
2x + 1 = β3x + 5
Now, solve for x:
2x + 3x = 5β1
5x = 4
x= 4/5
Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it into either equation to find the corresponding y-coordinate. Letβs use the first equation:
y = 2(4/5) + 1
y = 8/5 + 1
y = 8/5 + 5/5
y = 13/5
So, the intersection point of the lines y = 2x + 1 and y = β3x + 5 is (4/5, 13/5).
Q10. Determine if the lines 2x + 3y = 7 and 4x + 6y = 14 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Solution:
To determine if the lines 2x + 3y = 7 and 4x + 6y = 14 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we can compare their slopes.
First, weβll rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) where m represents the slope:
For 2x + 3y = 7
3y = β2x + 7
y = β2/3x + 7/3
So, the slope of this line is m1 = β2/3
For 4x + 6y = 14
6y = β4x + 14
y = β4/6x + 14/6
y = β2/3x + 7/3
So, the slope of this line is m2 = β2/3.
Since the slopes of both lines are identical (m1 = m2 = β2/3), the lines are parallel.
Therefore, the lines 2x + 3y = 7 and 4x + 6y = 14 are parallel.
