do you know how to write an equation that's perpendicular?

bloomlocke367 · Answer

You flip the slope and change the sign... but that's only part of the answer. Let me know what you get and I'll work you through the rest

is it       y-6=(-4)(x-2) @BloomLocke367

bloomlocke367 · Answer

not quite...

bloomlocke367 · Answer

you didn't flip the slope. instead of -4, it should be -1/4

bloomlocke367 · Answer

oops 1/4 should be positive

anonymous · Answer

oh so y-6=(1/4)(x-2) @BloomLocke367

bloomlocke367 · Answer

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's correct :) Hang on, I'll double check it for you

bloomlocke367 · Answer

Yep :) Do you need to put it in the form y=mx+b? or can you leave it like that?
