Question

Write an equation perpendicular to 4x + 8y = 3 and contain the point (5,7) in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y=2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the original equation would be y=3/8−x/2

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line would be m=2

Then, the y-intercept would be 7=(2)x(5)+a

A=-3

Answer:

y=2x+3
