Question

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the line:

y=−3/4x+5 that goes through the point (-1, -10).
Write your answer in slope- intercept form, using reduced fractions for the slope and intercept.

Answer 1

y= 4/3x - 8.7777777777(reoccurring)

Explanation:

ok for perpendicular slopes we use the negative reciprocal of the original slope so -3/4 turns into 4/3. next we take the equation y = 4/3x + b and plug in -1 for x and -10 for y to find B.
