write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the graph of the given equation. (0,0) y=-3x+2 (5,0) y+1=2(x-3)
@Data_LG2
so now, they are looking for the "perpendicular line" remember what i said before about their slope? the slope of a perpendicular line is the \(\sf negative\ reciprocal\) of the given line. so the first one, what is the slope?
-3x
right, just take the coefficient. the slope is -3 now what is the negative reciprocal of -3?
3
close ! how about it's reciprocal? we have 3 and underneath it, we have the imaginary 1 so to get the reciprocal, we have to flip them look here: (give me a sec my drawing tool is not working)
1/3
yes right, (lol i don't need the drawing tool then xD ) the slope of the required line is 1/3 so now we have \(\sf y=\frac{1}{3}x+b\) like before, we have to solve for \(\sf b\)
b=0
@Catlover5925
can you help me with the second one plz :3
i can try, what is the question??
^^same question at the top just the second equation now
ummm i am not sure @Data_LG2 said he would be right back...sorry
its ok.
@mathmath333
(0,0) y=-3x+2 \(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{ y=-3x+2\\~\\ }\end{align}\) the line passing through (0,0) and perpendicular with y=-3x+2 have its slope as negative inverse of the line y=-3x+2 so \(m=\dfrac{1}{3}\) \(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{( y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\\~\\ ( y-0)=\dfrac{1}{3}(x-0)\\~\\ y=\dfrac{1}{3}x\\~\\ }\end{align}\) https://www.desmos.com/calculator/kt7mmqvgif
