Question

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

y – 3 = 8/3(x + 2); (–2, 3)

Answer 1

multiple choice:
y + 3 = –3/8(x – 2)
y – 3 = –3/8(x + 2)
y – 2 = –3/8(x + 3)
y + 3 = 3/8(x – 2)

Answer 2

y-3=-3/8(x+2)
A perpendicular Line is the negative reciprocal.
Then any point that is positive turns negative, and any point that is negative turns positive.
