Will fan and medal Basic math questions
1. (-4, 3) ; \[y = \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } x - 2\]
find the equation of the line through the given point, and perpendicular to the given line . All answers must be in slope intercept form
There is an equation to solve this. Do you remember it?
no its kinda fuzzy remembering algebra 1

Nice Pfp
wish i could help but i suck a algebra. if youneed an answer then i would use mathway.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal. So by looking at the given line, we know that the new line will have a slope of -5/2. To create the equation of the new line using the given point, we can use point-slope form first. \[y_2 - y_1 = m(x_2 - x_1)\] Plug in what we know. Then we will convert it to slope-intercept form as the question asks. \[y-3=-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }(x+4)\] Think you can do it from here? :)
thank you !!!!
