Question

The equation of line LM is y = 5x + 4. Write an equation of a line perpendicular to line LM in slope-intercept form that contains point (-3, 2).

Answer 1

Select one:
a. y = -5x + 13
b. y=-1/5x + 13
c. y= 1/5 x - 7/5
d. y= 5x - 17

Answer 2

Answer 3

What's the slope of line LM? :)

Answer 4

its positive

Answer 5

What exactly is the slope of line LM? :)

Answer 6

positive ... dohhhhh!! laughing out loud

Answer 7

y = mx + b
is the intercept-form of an equation of a line, where m is your slope and b is the y-intercept

Answer 8

ok soo.. what do I do now how am I supposed to find the answer

Answer 9

what you do now is figure out your damned slope

Answer 10

ok how do I do that

Answer 11

have you been paying attention to our responses?

Answer 12

I will type it again
y = mx + b
is the intercept-form of an equation of a line, where m is your slope and b is the y-intercept

Answer 13

slope-intercept form*

Answer 14

an example of that crap slope-intercept form is
y = 3x + 4

3 would be the slope and 4 would be the y-intercept form

Answer 15

i know now ok let me see....

Answer 16

now, can you figure out your damned slope in the equation you were given in your problem?

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

ok what would be m

Answer 19

so what on earth is the value of m in your problem?

Answer 20

that's what im asking you

Answer 21

so you haven't been paying attention
I am not here to answer your question, I am here to ask you the proper questions so that you can learn your lesson

Answer 22

i put this question up so someone could help me figure out the answer not give me a math lesson

Answer 23

the purpose of this website is to guide people learn their materials, not be an accomplice to cheating

Answer 24

was it implied that i wanted the answer

Answer 25

yah

Answer 26

y = mx + b
is the slope-intercept form of an equation of a line, where m is your slope and b is the y-intercept

an example of that crap slope-intercept form is
y = 3x + 4

3 would be the slope and 4 would be the y-intercept form

Answer 27

we are here to work with you not to just give out the answers.

Answer 28

giving you the math lesson is the guide to the answer you seek :) sorry we don't spoon feed answers like you're a helpless being.

Answer 29

im not helpless im passing this class i just needed help on one question you don't have to help me

Answer 30

based on the definition and example, what the damned slope in your problem?

Answer 31

I think you're just going to accept defeat and not learn this overall
