Question

anonymous · Answer

I got an answer of y= 3/2x+4

anonymous · Answer

Just want to know if it is correct

anonymous · Answer

OK. I'll check real quick.

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

No, it is not.

anonymous · Answer

Or is it y= -3/2x+4

anonymous · Answer

Your first solution intersects the line, but it is not perpendicular. Whatever solution you have, if you are finding a perpendicular line, the slope must be the negative reciprocal of the original line.

anonymous · Answer

Your second solution is incorrect. I may have a method for you in five minutes or so...

anonymous · Answer

here is the multiple chooses I have A is y= 3/2x+4       b y=-3/2x+4       c y=3/2x+7      d y= 3/2x+20

anonymous · Answer

All of the math I have done shows none of the answers to be right; however, I find A is the closest to what I have. Good luck...

Well thank you then. ^.^ I guess I was right. I will ask my teacher if it is correct. Thank you I appreciate it.
