a particular line has x-intercept at 6 and y-intercept at the origin
1) write an equation of a line perpendicular to the above line that passes
through point (-6,-3)
2) what is the slope of the line:
-3/4x-1/2y=10
[the slope = 3/2]
3) P(3,6) Q(-1,-2) where does the line intersect the y-axis ?

(i just need help for number 1 and 3)

can you explain to me what the problem is please

mandre · Answer

If you draw a line from x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 0 (the origin), the line will lie on the x-axis. The equation of the line will be y=0.
