Question

1. Line A's equation is y = -1/3x - 5. Line B is perpendicular to Line A and and goes

through the point (2, 3). Write the equation for Line B in slope-intercept form.


2. Line A's equation is y = 2/5x - 5. Line B is perpendicular to Line A and and goes
through the point (10.3). Write the equation for Line B in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y = -1/3x - 11/3

Explanation:

line a: y = -1/3x - 5

3 = -1/3(2) - b

3 = -2/3 - b

3 + 2/3 = b

3/1 + 2/3 = b

9/3 + 2/3 = b

11/3 = b
