please help with equations

OpenStudy (lena772):

So perpendicular lines must intersect. This means their slops cannot be the same.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

OpenStudy (lena772):

Slopes*

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

so if one of the two lines has 3/5 slope, a line that is perpendicular to it, will have a slope of -(5/3)

OpenStudy (lena772):

A also displays -3/7 as the slope.

OpenStudy (lena772):

No it's A or C.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

that is something you need to answer. in a point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1) m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the coordinate of the given point

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

even if you have to guess, always make sure that you follow certain logic when doing so.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

No, >.>

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

.________________. You only need the slope of the given eqaution, they want the perp so its -3/7 (-4,9) y-9=-3/7(x-(-4)) y -9=-3/7(x+4)

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
