Question

Find the equation of the line

Answer 1

y= - 1/6x -1

Explanation:

Given:

• y= 6x -2

• and point (6, -2)

Perpendicular line has slope of reciprocal opposite to the given: - 1/6, so the equation:

• y= -1/6x + b

Finding b using the intersected point:

• -2= -1/6*6 +b
• b= -2 +1= -1

So the equation is:

• y= - 1/6x -1
