Question

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.
y-2=7/3(x+5);(-4,9)

Answer 1

a.y-9=-3/7(x-4)
b.y-9=3/7(x-4)
c.y-9=-3/7(x+4)
d.y-9=3/7(x+4)

Answer 2

Answer 3

ok, what is the slope on the actual equation?

Answer 4

do you know?

Answer 5

7/3

Answer 6

y - y1 = m (x - x1) slope is the m position you have

y - 2 = 7/3 (x + 5)

Answer 7

am i right with slope ?

Answer 8

ok good, so to be perpendicular what is the opposite reciprocal

Answer 9

yes you are right 7/3

Answer 10

so its c?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

using the stuff u taught me.. i got c

Answer 13

alright awesome!

Answer 14

thanks
