um, i dont understand how k = 0 when from the picture, it clearly doesnt lol. unless that picture isnt right,
Leave your name with rep, thanks![]()
what i can find is
QP m = 2/3
y = 2/3x + b
7 = 2/3(-3) + b
7 = -2 + b
b = 7 + 2
b = 9
y = 2/3x + 9
QR since it is perpendicular with QP, its slope would be m = -1.5
y = -1.5x + b
7 = -1.5(-3) + b
7 = 4.5 + b
b = 2.5
y = -1.5x + 2.5
substituting the given value, 5 into the second equation, you'll have
-1.5(5) + 2.5 = k
-7.5 + 2.5 = k
k = -5
and i dont know gradients, sorry

Lol that can't be right - the point R isn't on 0I'VE GOT IT![]()
Lol right...
First of all you find the gadient of QP, which = 1/2 and as PQR is 90degrees you can state that the gradient of QR is therefore -2 (perpendicular).
You then have the gradient of the line QR and you have the point Q so you just find the equation of that line - which is y= -2x + 10.
You then substitute the point R into the equation of the line so you have:-
k = -2(5) + 10
k = -10 + 10
k = 0
I think that PTER's right.
(will be updated whenever I can be bothered to)
k is -5what i can find is
QP m = 2/3
y = 2/3x + b
7 = 2/3(-3) + b
7 = -2 + b
b = 7 + 2
b = 9
y = 2/3x + 9
