Question

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and has an x-intercept of 6 ?

y= -3/4x+8
y=-3/4x+6
y=4/3x-8
y=4/3x-6

Answer 1

y = 4/3x - 8

Explanation:

slope of given line is -3/4 so the perpendicular slope is 4/3

line goes through (6, 0)

y = mx + b

0 = 4/3(6) + b

-8 = b

y = 4/3x - 8
