Question

write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to the line y=3/5x-1 and passes through the point
(-9,4)

Answer 1

is it (3/5)x

Answer 2

so would it be y=3/5x+47/5

Answer 3

no.

Answer 4

When it states perpendicular, the slope would be the inverse negative.

Answer 5

So for the slope of the perpendicular line, the slope would be -5/3 x

Answer 6

so then would it be y=-5/3x-11

Answer 7

or y=-5/3x+19

Answer 8

I don't know. I would have to plug it in to find out.

Answer 9

But the slope is correct.

Answer 10

would you please do that:)

Answer 11

I would assume its -5/3x-11, because the slope is negative, and it would never cross the x axis at 19.

Answer 12

alright:)

Answer 13

Just this confirm, this is a straight line, correct?

Answer 14

I believe so
