Question

Write an equation of the line perpendicular to the given line that contains P.

P(4, -7); y = 1/5x +2
Write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

perp. -5

y + 7 = -5(x - 4)

y + 7 = -5x + 20

y = -5x + 13
