Question

Find the equation of the line through (5,7) that is perpendicular to y=2/3x-2

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-2/3x+10.3333333333333334

Step-by-step explanation:

to make it perpendicular 2/3 becomes -2/3

Answer 2

A line is perpendicular when M1xM2=-1
( when the first and second gradient together would equal -1)
Knowing this we can rearrange to get M2 (M2=-1/M1)
From this you can determine y intercept and that is it
(Answer is y=-1.5x+14.5)
