Question

A line is perpendicular to y = x + 3

and intersects the point (-2, 4).
What is the equation of this
perpendicular line?
y = − ²x + [ ]
Hint: Use the Point-Slope Form:y-y₁ = m(x - X1)
Then write the equation in slope-intercept form.
Enter

Answer 1

y =x+3

y =-x²+[?]

Find the gradient;

What is the formula for the gradient of a graph?

Finding the gradient of a straight-line graph

X2 = 2

Y2 = 7

ΔX = 4

ΔY = 3

θ = 36.869897645844°

Equation of the line:

y = 0.75x + 5.5

When x=0, y = 5.5

When y=0, x = -7.3333333333333

OR

X2 = -6

Y2 = 1

ΔX = -4

ΔY = -3

θ = 216.86989764584°

Equation of the line:

y = 0.75x + 5.5

When x=0, y = 5.5

When y=0, x = -7.3333333333333
