Question

Write the equation of the line described

Answer 1

Explanation:

slope = x factor = - 5/2

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other: m1 * m2 = –1

New slope = 2/5 = m

y = mx + b

from the point given y = 2 | x = -4

2 = (2/5 × -4 ) + b

2 = - 1.6 + b

b = 3.6

line equation

`y = (2)/(5) x + 3.6`
