Question

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=-3/7-15 and that passes through the point (9,2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

First substitue the coordinates to the equation so

x=9, y=2

you would get

2=-3/7(9) + b

we put b because we are trying to find the new slope

multiply the two numbers above

2=-3/6/7 + b

subtract the whole number from both sides

b= 5/6/7

in equation would be

y= -3/7 + 5/6/7

Let me know if there is an error.
