Problem is attached in the picture.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve both for y to make a y = mx + b form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perpendicular. the slope of one line is the inverse of the other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the "minus" signal doesnt matter. It only tells you if the line is rotated clockwise or counter clockwise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if both have the same slope, parallel... if the slopes are negative reciprocals of one another, then perpendicular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = mx + b and y = -(1/m)x + b the slopes are perpendicular.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equations turn out to be....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = (-3/4)x +6 .....and..... y = (4/3)x + 9...... so they are perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the medals ! ;) ha ha
