Write an equation of the line that passes through (6,-10) and is perpendicular to the line that passes through

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4,-6) and (3,-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's another point on the line? There's an infinite amount of solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4,-6) and (3,-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And you need an equation parallel to that line correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hang on please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = -8 + 2/4x, I'm pretty sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u explain how it comes out to that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, if you graph that equation it will be perpendicular to the other line and will meet at point (4, -6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hope it helped :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):
