HELP PLEASE! FAN AND MEDAL!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to know how to write an equation of a line perpendicular to one of the lines in slope-intercept from that contains the point (-2,7)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

onna! still with the "one of the lines" ...

OpenStudy (misty1212):

are they horizontal like last time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The lines are G(-7,2) H(0,2) and F(0,8) B(0,-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Theyre perpendicular. So one is horizontal, and one is vertical

OpenStudy (misty1212):

one of those lines is horizontal, the other is vertical

OpenStudy (misty1212):

how does the actual question read?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the actual question. From the paper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well its not a question. It says that I need to make an equation and that I need to show all my work

OpenStudy (misty1212):

but you have a choice of two different lines to pick how do you know which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea. Do you want me to type the entire paragrapgh?

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

why don't u find d slope of one of those given lines and then combined with the points (-2,7) find d equation

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

is dat good enough?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ribhu I think I understand what youre saying, but shouldnt I use the slope for something?

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

u shuld have a slope of 0 tho but using d formula y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why would I have a slope of 0?

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

from d lines u gave I picked one of the and tried to use deir slope

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

t he first one gave 0 d other was undefined that means it was a vertical line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didnt get 0. I got \[\frac{ 9 }{ 10 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@diamondboy

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

wait how

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

The lines are G(-7,2) H(0,2) and F(0,8) B(0,-2)

OpenStudy (diamondboy):

which of d lines did u pick?
