Question

How do I write this equation in slope- Intercept form?



​

Answer 1

y = 3/8x + 43/8

Explanation:

first multiply 3/8 with the parentesis

y - 2 = 3/8 x + 27/8

y = 3/8x +27/8 + 2

y = 3/8x +43/8

*The equation of the line that is perpendicular should have a slope of -8/3, so the answer should be:

y - 2 = -8/3(x - -9)

y - 2 = -8/3x -24

y = -8/3x -24 + 2

y = -8/3x -22
