Question

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (–6, 1) and is perpendicular to the graph of 2x + 3y = –5?

y = x – 8
y = x + 1
y = x + 1
y = x + 10

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

3y = -2x - 5

y = -2/3x - 5/3

perp: 3/2

y - 1 = 3/2(x + 6)

y - 1 = 3/2x + 9

y = 3/2x + 10
