(3,6) , 3x+4y=-2 write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line perpendicular to the given line that passes through the given point.

Question

assignment 2.2 module 2 lesson 2 practice

Answer 1

3x+4y=-2

y = -3x/4 -1/2 has slope = -3/4

perpendicular line has a negative inverse slope = 4/3

y =4x/3 + b

6=4+b

b =2

the perpendicular line through the point is

y=(4/3)x + 2 in slope intercept form, slope =4/3, intercept =2
