1. 3x-y=8
2. y+2=5(x-6)

anonymous · Answer

They want you to turn the equations into slope intercept turn which is y = mx + b

Product of slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is always -1

uh

anonymous · Answer

if the lines are perpendicular it means that when you multiply the slopes of the lines the result is -1. so slope(1) * slope(2) = -1
for a) the slope is 3. so the perpendicular slope would be -1/3
b) slope is 5. perpendicular slope is: (5)(slope2) = -1 and solve for slope2
