What is the equation of the line that passes through (12,4) and is perpendicular to the graph of y=-(3/4)x=2?

Question

anonymous · Answer

are you sure that equation of graph you have provided is correct
there are two equals to sign

anonymous · Answer

I am sorry it is y=-(3/4)x-2

anonymous · Answer

Can I use the equation y – y1 = m(x – x1)

anonymous · Answer

the slope of equation you have given is -3/4 by comparing with y=mx+c
as the line we need to find is perpendicular to line you have given, the slope of line we need to find is 4/3 as m1 . m2 = -1
now we have slope = 4/3 and point =(12,4)
now you cna use point slope form which i guess you know

anonymous · Answer

yes y – y1 = m(x – x1) is the one you should use
