Question

which of the following is the equation of a line
y=(-3/2)x+4

perpendicular to point 3,9

Answer 1

a line cant be perpendicular to a point

Answer 2

you mean perpendicular to a line y = ..... that passes through (3,9)

Answer 3

@zzr0ck3r yes thats what i ment typo

Answer 4

we still need the other line....

Answer 5

LEt me restate Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y=(-3/2)x+4, passing through the point (3,9) @zzr0ck3r

Answer 6

there we go

Answer 7

ok if a line is perpendicular to \(y=\frac{-3}{2}x=4\) then it is of the form \(y=\frac{2}{3}x+b\) because it will have the negative reciprocal of the lines slope as a slope.

now we plug in the point \((3,9)\) to find the value of \(b\).

\(9=\frac{2}{3}*3+b\)

solve for \(b\) and you are done.

Answer 8

that should say "if a line is perpendicular to the line \(y=\frac{-3}{2}x+4\)"
