Question

Pls help w this question, it’s prob easy but I’m rlly lazy thx

Answer 1

For Line T:

`m = (5 - 14)/(2 - 0) = - (9)/(2)`

Since Lines T and R are perpendicular, the slopes of these two lines are negative reciprocals. So Line R has slope 2/9. We have:

`3 = (2)/(9) (4) + b`

`(27)/(9) = (8)/(9) + b`

`b = (19)/(9)`

`y = (2)/(9) x + (19)/(9)`

So the equation of Line R is

y = (2/9)x + (19/9)
