Question

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to the line y =4/9 x – 2 that passes through the point (4,3)?


y = –4/9x – 2
y = 9/4 x + 6
y = –9/4x + 12
y = –9/4x – 12

Answer 1

Hint: The slope of the line perpendicular to the original line is the negative inverse of the slope of the original line

Answer 2

Hint*: product of slopes of two perpendicular lines equals to -1

Answer 3

So, would it be the 1st one ?

Answer 4

There's three options to choose from in that regard. Choose the right one.

Answer 5

The 2nd one ?

Answer 6

I suppose your next guess is going to be the third one since the second one isn't correct either.

Answer 7

You should not guess these

Answer 8

I don't understand it at all . . . But no, I say the last one.

Answer 9

Do you have any work to provide to show how you came up with your guesses?

Answer 10

No , I don't even know where to begin to start the problem off .

Answer 11

the slope of line y = x – 2 is 1, so the slope of line u r searching for is negative reciprocal which is -1 and u have a point (4,3) use point slope to fine ur line equation

Answer 12

So , its the last one?

Answer 13

Sadly, none of the given options appear to be correct.

Answer 14

Which is exactly why you should learn how to do these.

Answer 15

It didn't come out right. There were supposed to be fractions. Sorry if I confused yall.
