Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point shown and is perpendicular to the line shown. y = -3 halvesx y = 3 halvesx - 6 y = -2/3x - 5/3 y = 2/3x - 13/3
@...help... please help me
I can try but I am not really sure :\ .....
k
where is the line and the point. Are they in the attached file?
yes
Can you see these points on the equation of the line ? (0, 3) and (-3, 1)
yes
thus the slope of the given line will be \[\Huge m=\frac{ 3-1 }{ 0-(-3) }=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\]
Now can you find the slope w/c is perpendicular to the above one?
you there?????
w/c ?
you there?????
@Zekarias
ok I am here you have the slope of the given line, w/c is 2/3. Now can you tell me the slope w/c is perpendicular to 2/3.
You know this?\[\Huge m{\times}m_{perpendicular} =-1\]
whats w/c
which....w/c
Thus the slope what I ask you before, anyhow, is\[\Huge m_{\perp}=\frac{ -1 }{ m }=\frac{ -1 }{ \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } }=\frac{ -3 }{ 2 }\]
Therefore finally we have slope (-3/2) and point (2, -3). Finally\[\Huge \frac{ y-(-3) }{ x-2 }=\frac{ -3 }{ 2 }\]\[\Huge 2y+6=-3x+6\]
okay i see. uhm sorry but which choice would that be ?
