Question

The lines y=(n-2)x-4 and y=3x+2 are perpendicular. Find the value of n.

Must include an explanation to get more points!

Answer 1

n=5/3

Explanation:

In order for the two lines to be perpendicular the slopes have to be flipped and so do the signs so the slope of the unknown value has to be -1/3

all you do is -1/3+2=5/3

5/3-2=-1/3 which make the two lines perpendicular

sorry if this doesnt make sense its hard to explain it virtually
