Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for an equation of a line perpendicular to y = 24x +2 and that intersects at point (0, -2).

Answer 1

Looking at your line equation the slope for that line is the coefficient of x, in this case slope m=24. A line perpendicular will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal or m=-1/24 Using a slope of -1/24 and the given point you can now develop the equation.

Is this enough guidance?

Answer 2

@allirose, answer please.

Answer 3

it would be if i knew what i was doing but i dont know how to do this kind of math smh

Answer 4

i really just need the answer please lol

Answer 5

There are some methods that you must remember or have nearby as a reference. In this case you must know how slope is determined.
\[\Delta y \over \Delta x\] . Delta X and Delta Y simply mean the change in y divided by the change in x. We will use this definition to solve your problem.

Answer 6

No, you need more than the answer, that is another part of the problem. You need knowledge, that is why you are in school. But I digress, back to the problem
-1/24=(y-(-2))/x-0) This is the point given in your problem. Solving
The bottom line in the drawing is your answer Good luck you may need it.
