Select the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line on the graph and passes through the point (3, 2). y = 1 over 3 x + 3 y = -1 over 3x + 3 y = 3 x + 2 y = - 1 over 3 x + 2

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay again first you have to find slope of the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so how will i do it with this @Nnesha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

you can pick two points and use slope formula to find slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please show me srry i am kinda rushing @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay so do you know slope is rise/run then see how many points are going up and how many points are you going right this is another way to find slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my slope would be 3/2 right

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope try that again see how many points are going right side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i count the points

Nnesha (nnesha):

if you look at this u can where its make right triangle nw see how any step are going right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 points then @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes that's right now perpendicular slope should be ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm idk may you show me again like you do the first time @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

then look at ur previous post and see what i said about perpendicular slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -3 points @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

slope of graph 3/1 now flip it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/3 @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

right :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

now use slope intercept form equation y = mx+b replace m ,x and y by their valeus then solve for b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the value of m @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

m is slope that you just found

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y =-7 @Nnesha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??? @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

y ?? suppose to b =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=-7??/ @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg please just tell me @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1422208189690:dw| that's how you should replace
