Question

Enter the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Enter the answer in fraction form.

The line perpendicular to y = 4/3x + 2 that passes through (8,-5).
The equation of the line that passes through (8,-5) is y =______​

Answer 1

Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Y = -3/4x + b
Plug in the point to find b
-5 = -3/4(8) + b
-5 = -6 + b, b = 1
Equation: y = -3/4x + 1
