Question

Which is the equation for the line perpendicular to y = -5/3x + 11 1/3 and containing P(-2, 3)?

Answer 1

Have you learned flip and switch?

Answer 2

No, what is it?

Answer 3

What is the slope of your equation?

Answer 4

-5/3

Answer 5

Correct so a line perpendicular to that function would have a slope of 3/5 .... You flip it and then switch the sign.

Answer 6

Oh okay. So the equation for this line would be y = 3/5x + 4 1/5?

Answer 7

Did you put (-2,3) into the equation of a line and solve?

Answer 8

I just looked at the only multiple choice with 3/5 honestly, what is that step?

Answer 9

(y - y's value) = m(x - x's value) m = slope and then solve
Y-3=m(x-(-2)

Answer 10

y - 3 = 3/5 (x - (-2)) ?

Answer 11

Yep

Answer 12

How do you simplify it?

Answer 13

The 3 doesn't go there

Answer 14

Y-3=3/5x+6/5
Y= 3/5x + 6/5 +3

Answer 15

Y=3/5x+15/5

Answer 16

ok. thanks!

Answer 17

i got it :P

Answer 18

Oops15/5 + 6/5

Answer 19
