Write the equation in slope-intercept and standard form for the line that goes through the points (1,3) and (2,5).








What is the slope of the equation that is perpendicular to the line above?

anonymous · Answer

You are given 
[1] (1,3)
[2] (2,5)

the general equation of the line is: y = mx + b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and x and y are any coordinate pair that are on the line

anonymous · Answer

Note that you are given [1], [2], both which are coordinates that are on the line proposed

anonymous · Answer

Thank You So Much.

anonymous · Answer

For the line perpendicular to this equation, it would have the slope that is the NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL to the slope of the line proposed

anonymous · Answer

(ex)

If our proposed line has slope = 1/3, THEN the line perpendicular to this has slope:
|dw:1342212381219:dw|
