Question

Given line has the equation 2x - 12y=-1 what is the equation in slope intercept form of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (0,9)

Answer 1

y = -6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of the given line is 2/12 = 1/6

therefore the slope of line perpendicular to given line is -1 ÷ 1/6 = -6.

for a line passing through (0,9) that is y intercept is 9. the equation is:

y = -6x + 9
