Question

HELP! NEED HELP!

Answer 1

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (6, 3).

Answer 2

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 4x − 3y = −12 and passes through the point (−3, 4).

Answer 3

Hint: The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines = -1

Answer 4

what are gradients?

Answer 5

The gradient of a line y=mx+c is m.

Answer 6

So first, identify the gradient of the line y = 2x + 2 which is....?

Answer 7

Please just answers for these two

Answer 8

2

Answer 9

Correct. So the gradient of the unknown line is....?

Answer 10

1/2?

Answer 11

or 2 again?

Answer 12

@mukushla PLease answer or dont stare at it for 20 mins. I need help not a stalker. :D

Answer 13

Sorry for late response @Brandon_Sirota. Server issues. You were close. The gradient of the unknown line is -1/2. Since 2*-1/2=-1.
Now given the gradient -1/2, and a point (6,3) through which the line passes. I believe you can get the equation of the line.

Use the same methodology for the second question, the only difference being that the gradients of parallel lines are equal. I hope that helps.
