Draw a perpendicular line passing through the point (3, -2). Start this problem by writing any equation in the form ax+by=c where a,b, and c are real numbers, and solve this equation for y to find use the linear equation form, y=mx+b.

Graph this line. draw a line perpendicular to this one that also passes through the point (3,-2) .
The slope is measured as the ratio of the rise to the run.
What is the slope of the perpendicular line? How is it related to the slope of the original line?

Draw a line perpendicular to which one ?

anonymous · Answer

you have to write some type of equation it's so infusing it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. @texaschic101
