Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (12, 4) and is perpendicular to the graph of y = -3/4 x - 2?

Answer 1

:/

Answer 2

Slope would be 4/3 since perpindicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes... b(y-int) can be found by putting in 0 for x and the value in ordered pair for y(4) and the slope previously stated. b then equals 4. So the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, would be \[y = \frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x + 4\]
