Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point.

Y - 3 = 4 (x + 2) through the point ( -2,6

Answer 1

y-6=-1/4(x+2)

Explanation:

y-3=4(x+2)

y=4x+8+3

y=4x+11

-------------

Perpendicular means negative reciprocal of the slope.

y-6=-1/4(x-(-2))

y-6=-1/4(x+2)
