Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Perpendicular Lines in Coordinate Geometry
#### Problem Statement:
Line \( m \) is represented by the equation \( y - 1 = -\frac{2}{3} (x + 1) \). Select **all** equations that represent lines perpendicular to line \( m \).
#### Given Equations:
1. \( y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 1 \)
2. \( y = \frac{3}{2}(x + 1) \)
3. \( y - 1 = \frac{2}{3} (x - 1) \)
4. \( y - 1 = \frac{3}{2} (x + 5) \)
5. \( y = \frac{3x + 1}{2} \)
6. \( y = -\frac{2}{3} x + \frac{1}{3} \)
#### Solution Explanation:
A line perpendicular to another has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line.
- The slope-intercept form of the given line equation \( y - 1 = -\frac{2}{3}(x + 1) \) can be simplified to identify the slope. The slope \( m \) is \(-\frac{2}{3}\).
- Thus, the slope of any line perpendicular to it must be the negative reciprocal: \( \frac{3}{2} \).
Next, we'll determine which of the given equations have the slope \( \frac{3}{2} \):
1. \( y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 1 \):
- Slope = \(-\frac{3}{2}\) (Not perpendicular)
2. \( y = \frac{3}{2}(x + 1) \):
- Slope = \(\frac{3}{2}\) (Perpendicular)
3. \( y - 1 = \frac{2}{3} (x - 1) \):
- Slope = \(\frac{2}{3}\) (Not perpendicular)
4. \( y - 1 = \frac{3}{2} (x + 5) \):
- Slope = \(\frac{3}{2}\) (Perpendicular)
5. \( y = \frac{3x + 1}{2} \):
