Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point shown and is perpendicular to the line shown
Is this y=3x-24

Answer 1

the line shown has a slop of 3
so a line perpendicular will have a slop -1/3
so it will have the form y = -(1/3)x+b
use the point (6,-6) to find b
-6=-(1/3)*6+b
-6=-2+b
b=-4
so
y=-(1/3)x-4

Answer 2

ok thanks i would have gotten that wrong

Answer 3

perpendicular does NOT mean the same slope, it means the negative precipice @iforgot

Answer 4

ok im really loosing it

Answer 5

:)

Answer 6

that's why I never say perpendicular and always say orthogonal.... the p's mess me up.

Answer 7

it was parallel :P

Answer 8

exactly:)

Answer 9

3 mistake i made here :P

Answer 10

I call that a good night:)
