Question 19:
Given the line l:y= 2x−1passing through the point P(3,5), find
the equation of a line parallel to lpassing through Pand the equation
of a line perpendicular to lpassing through P.
Solution:
To find a line parallel to lpassing through point P(3,5), we know
that parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of line lis 2, so the
parallel line passing through Pwill also have a slope of 2. Therefore,
the equation of the parallel line can be written in the form y= 2x+b
where bis the y-intercept to be determined.
Substitute the point P(3,5) into the equation:
5 = 2(3) + b
5 = 6 + b
b=−1
So, the equation of the line parallel to lpassing through Pis y=
2x−1.
To find a line perpendicular to lpassing through point P(3,5), we
know that the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal
of the slope of l. The slope of lis 2, so the slope of the perpendicular
line will be −1
2.
Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line can be written
in the form y=−1
