Question

Line m is represented by the equation below. Select all equation that represent lines perpendicular to line m.

Answer 1

it will be any equation with a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of 3/2 or it's equivalent. So in this case, -2/3. be sure to check the negative does and see if other slopes are the same as -2/3 but in a different form.

Answer 2

y = -2/3x + 4

y+1 = -4/6(x + 5)

Explanation:

y = -2/3x + 4

y+1 = -4/6(x + 5) *-4/6 is equal to -2/3

perpendicular lines have slope that are opposite signs and reciprocals

the slope of the original line in this problem is 3/2 so any line with a slope of -2/3 is perpendicular to it
