1) We know that a rectangle has 2 pairs of perpendicular sides. So the key point here is to find 2 pairs, i.e. 4 parallel lines. To have perpendicular sides we must have one line whose slope is reciprocal and opposite to th other Enlisting them we have:
β’ y+2x=8 βy=-2x+8 m= -2
,β’ 2y=x-4 βy=1/2x -2 m=1/2
,β’ 2y +1/2x +1=0 β 2y = -1/2x-1 β y =-1/4x-1/2 m=-1/4
,β’ y+2x+2=0 β y= -2x -2 βm =-2
,β’ 2y +x =1 βy =-1/2x+1 m = -1/2
,β’ y=1/2x+2 βm=1/2
,β’ y=x-4 βm=1
,β’ y=4-x β m=-1
,β’ y=2(x-1) β y= 2x -2 β m= 2
,β’ 2y=4-x βy= 2-1/2x βm=-1/2
Now let's gather those lines whose slope is perpendicular and set our rectangle. Let's pick the parallel ones.
Considering the base of the rectangle made by slope m=-2
y+2x=8
y+2x+2=0
And perpendicular lines whose slope is m=1/2
2y=x-4
y=1/2x+2
2) Now Let's graph the lines in the coordinate grid, labeling them:
y+2x=8 (Red)
y+2x+2=0 (Light blue)
2y=x-4 (purple)
y=1/2x+2 (green)
