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)

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)
Please Answer ASAP.

Answer 1

C.
`y-9=-(3)/(7)(x+4)`

Explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
