Help please. Question below

Answer 1

Im not sure on this one . But im tryin to get em done asap

Answer 2

Here is what the question gives you for the first equation with the coordinates plugged in\[4=m(-2)-6\]

Answer 3

To solve this lets simplify the equation first to get\[4=-2m-6\] Now what we have to do is find the value for m(slope). To do that lets start by getting rid of the -6 by adding 6 to both sides to get\[10=-2m\] Now to find the slope we need to divide both sides by -2 to get\[-5=m\]

Answer 4

What is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of -5?

Answer 5

1/5

Answer 6

Good. Now lets plug in the coordinate the question said the perpendicular line should go through. The equation with the coordinates already plugged in should look like this:\[-4=\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }(5)+b\] Now lets simplify the multiplication to get \[-4=1+b\] To get the b value alone we need to get rid of 1 by subtracting 1 from both sides to get\[-5=b\]

Answer 7

Plug in the newly found slope and y intercept to get \[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }x-5\]
