Question

NeeD HElp MEDals!!!!!

Answer 1

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form passing through the point (1,-3)
Perpendicular to the line y = 1/2 x+4

Answer 2

can you first find the slope of y = 1/2 x+4 ??

Answer 3

yea

Answer 4

so, what is the slope of that line ?

Answer 5

1/2

Answer 6

yes, now slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal,
so if m = -4, slope of perpendicular line will be +1/4
we have here, m= 1/2, slope of perpendicular line will be ... ?

Answer 7

Dang.. im lost : /

Answer 8

lost ?
which part did you not get ?

Answer 9

If the the perpendicular line is 1,-3 id understand how M= -4 and that changes the perpendicular line to +1/4

Answer 10

ok, so for
1/2,
first do reciprocal
it will be 2 , right ?
now just add a minus sign, ----> -2
so slope of perpendicular lin = -2
got it ?

Answer 11

okay got it

Answer 12

1/-2

Answer 13

whats 1/-2 ??
anyways, we have slope of perpendicular line as m=-2
point is 1,-3 ----> x1 = 1, y1 =-3
so, use the form
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
to get your equation

Answer 14

whats the anwer?

Answer 15

isn't it better if you can figure out the answer on your own ? :)

Answer 16

Whats the answer becassue i have a simailar wuestion and its u helping me to see if am corrcect

Answer 17

Wait so do I just find the slop between the two points and thats it right

Answer 18

so, even you try to understand and ask me any doubts if you have.

we already got the slope, right? m=-2
didn't you get that part ?
now we just use slope and point to get the equation of line.....

Answer 19

m=-2
point is 1,-3 ----> x1 = 1, y1 =-3
so, use the form
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
to get your equation

Answer 20

screw u

Answer 21

oh so just set up my eqaution alright hang on

Answer 22

wtf .....
