(3,-3),y=3/4x+5

Question

Right the slope intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of each equation

Answer 1

The product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1, so the slope of the perpendicular line is

m = -1/(3/4) = -4/3

y = (-4/3)x + b

Find b from the given point.

-3 = (-4/3)(3) + b

-3 = -4 + b

b = 1

y = (-4/3)x + 1
