Question

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (6, 3).

Answer 1

ok so what do you know about perpendicular lines to start off with?

Answer 2

nothing really

Answer 3

oh well i guess im goin to have to teach it to you :) do you know anything about parallel lines?

Answer 4

arent they slanted

Answer 5

ok so you know the 2 "ll" in the word parallel?

Answer 6

the lines cant be intersecting

Answer 7

they will never ever interesect.

Answer 8

yes! they will never ever intersect :) see you know something.

Answer 9

ok now what about perpendicular lines? what do you think happens with those?

Answer 10

they will intersect

Answer 11

intersect how? like at any kinda angle or what?

Answer 12

i dont know

Answer 13

ok so u the letter T? thats a perpendicular letter if u will

Answer 14

so its straight across

Answer 15

yup what kind of angle does that make?

Answer 16

180

Answer 17

hmm lets try that again. like on one side of the T in the corner?

Answer 18

90

Answer 19

yes 90 degrees so whenever you see perpendicular lines on a graph what will they do?

Answer 20

cross

Answer 21

not just cross but cross at a 90 degrees angle

Answer 22

i want you to keep this picture ok? its 2 examples of parallel and perpendicular line ex1 is parallel and ex 2 is perpendicular

Answer 23

ok

Answer 24

now when you are trying to write a equation what is the formula for slope inter-intercept form?

Answer 25

im not sure

Answer 26

ok umm you know how in algebra there was always the same equation we had to use? the one where it has y and x?

Answer 27

i think

Answer 28

ok what is it?

Answer 29

umm x is the number of somthing and y is the number that is totaled right?

Answer 30

yup :)

Answer 31

now try to put that into a equation

Answer 32

so y=2x+2
and if the cordinates are 6,3 so 2x+6=8x and the 2 would be an y so 2y+3=5y

Answer 33

whoa whoa whoa i was just asking for the slope intercept we will get to the rest of that later

Answer 34

oh

Answer 35

slope is 6,2 right because that would be the cordinates

Answer 36

no i was just asking for the basic equation. what i was looking for is y=mx+b. you know what that is right?

Answer 37

i dont know :I

Answer 38

ok so im sure you know what that is its in your question y=mx+b ====> y = 2x + 2 do you see it now?

Answer 39

y = 2x + 2

Answer 40

yes that is correct!!!!!!!! DING DING DING

Answer 41

ok so now are you understanding this so far?

Answer 42

yes

Answer 43

phew ok. so now we will get to the question ready?

Answer 44

ok

Answer 45

OK so heres the question Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 2 and passes through the point (6, 3). thats it right?

Answer 46

yup

Answer 47

ok so you are trying to find a line that is perpendicullar to y=2x+2 right?

Answer 48

yea

Answer 49

ok so when we are looking for the perpendicular of a line guess what?

Answer 50

what

Answer 51

all you have to do is get the reciprocal for the slope :)

Answer 52

you do know what that is right?

Answer 53

i have to go bell just rung

Answer 54

well when your back message me and i will help

Answer 55

k thanks

Answer 56

np :)
