Sagot :

a) The equation of line k is:

[tex]y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}[/tex]

b) The equation of line j is:

[tex]y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}[/tex]

The equation of a line, in slope-intercept formula, is given by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Item a:

  • Line k intersects line m with an angle of 109º, thus:

[tex]\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}[/tex]

In which [tex]m_1[/tex] and [tex]m_2[/tex] are the slopes of k and m.

  • Line k goes through points (-3,-1) and (5,2), thus, it's slope is:

[tex]m_1 = \frac{2 - (-1)}{5 - (-3)} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

  • The tangent of 109 degrees is [tex]\tan{109^{\circ}} = -\frac{29}{10}[/tex]
  • Thus, the slope of line m is found solving the following equation:

[tex]\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{29}{10} = \frac{m_2 - \frac{3}{8}}{1 + \frac{3}{8}m_2}[/tex]

[tex]m_2 - \frac{3}{8} = -\frac{29}{10} - \frac{87}{80}m_2[/tex]

[tex]m_2 + \frac{87}{80}m_2 = -\frac{29}{10} + \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{167m_2}{80} = \frac{-202}{80}[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = -\frac{202}{167}[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b[/tex]

It goes through point (-2,6), that is, when [tex]x = -2, y = 6[/tex], and this is used to find b.

[tex]y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b[/tex]

[tex]6 = -\frac{202}{167}(-2) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = 6 - \frac{404}{167}[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{6(167)-404}{167}[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{598}{167}[/tex]

Thus. the equation of line k, in slope-intercept formula, is:

[tex]y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}[/tex]

Item b:

  • Lines j and k intersect at an angle of 90º, thus they are perpendicular, which means that the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Thus, the slope of line j is:

[tex]-\frac{202}{167}m = -1[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{167}{202}[/tex]

Then

[tex]y = \frac{167}{202}x + b[/tex]

Also goes through point (-2,6), thus:

[tex]6 = \frac{167}{202}(-2) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{(2)167 + 202(6)}{202}[/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{1546}{202}[/tex]

The equation of line j is:

[tex]y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}[/tex]
