Question

or Line p has an equation of y= – 8x+6. Line q, which is perpendicular to line p, includes the point (2, – 2). What is the equation of line q?

Answer 1

y = 1/8 x - 9/2

Explanation:

slope of line q = 1/8

y-(-2)= 1/8(x-2)

y+2 = 1/8 x - 1/4

y = 1/8 x - 1/4 - 2

y = 1/8 x + (-1-8)/2

y = 1/8 x -9/2
