Question

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through (3, 5) and is perpendicular to the line

3y + 4x = 12

Answer 1

Explanation:

find the gradient of given equation:

3y+4x=12

3y= -4x+12

y= -4/3x+4

gradient= -4/3

perpendicular gradient:

m1xm2=-1

-4/3m2=-1

-4m2=-3

m2= 3/4

find y-intercept by inputting coordinates in y=mx+c

5=3/4(3)+c

5=9/4+c

5-9/4=c

c= - 11/4

equation:

y=3/4x-11/4
