Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-2,4) and is perpendicular to 2x+3y=-6

Answer 1

What are the two pieces of information you need to define a line?

Answer 2

doesn't say..just says.

A.y=-3/2x-2
B.3/2x+7
C.y=-2/3x+8/3
D.y=2/3x-4

Answer 3

I'm asking in general, for any line, do you know the two pieces of information that you need to define it uniquely?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

a point and a slope uniquely identify a line. So if you want to find a line, you need to find a point on the line, and its slope. The problem is asking you to find a line, and you already have a point on it, so you just need to find its slope. does that make sense?

Answer 6

so what is it?

Answer 7

well can you find the slope of the line you're given first?

Answer 8

how would you find the slope of 2x + 3y = -6

Answer 9

you've already posted a bunch more problems I see. maybe concentrate on one at a time?

Answer 10

hello?
