Answer:

Explanation:

1. Convert to slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

2. Find slope (the 'm' in mx)

3. Find slope of perpendicular line

So for the first question:

Convert to slope Intercept form if necessary:

3x+4y=12

4y=12-3x<<Subtract by 3x

y=3-3/4x<<Divide by 4

Find slope

y=3-3/4x

3/4 is the slope

Find slope of perpendicular line

To find the slope of a perpendicular line, you just have to take the reciprocal of the original slope and take the opposite sign.

Here is what I mean:

3/4<<original slope

4/3<<reciprocal

-4/3<<opposite

So for the first question -4/3 is the answer.

Now you can do the rest! Hope this helps!
