Question

5. Choose the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given

point.


4x - 12y = 2; (10,-1)

A.) y=3x + 29
B.) y=--x+29
3
C.) y=-3x + 29
D.) y=--x+7

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:oh

Answer 2

Answer: C) -3x + 29. Explanation: First, you want to start by putting the given equation in point-slope form. Point slope form: y = mx + b. The equation: y = 1/3x - 1/6. From this, you know that the slope is 1/3. You need to find a line perpendicular to the equation, so find the opposite-reciprocal slope. Flip the slope fraction and make it negative: -3/1. Plug the point into an equation with this slope to find the y-intercept. -1 = -3(10) + b ; 29 = b. Plug the y-intercept, as well as the slope, back into the equation to get your answer: y = -3x + 29.
