Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that is described below.

Through (3, 3) and perpendicular to y = 14x − 2

What is the equation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

        y = -¹/₁₄x + 3³/₁₄

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular then the product of theirs slopes is equal -1:

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇒    m₁×m₂ = -1

y = 14x - 2   ⇒   m₁=14

14×m₂ = -1        ⇒    m₂ = -¹/₁₄

The line y=-¹/₁₄x+b passes through point (3, 3) so the equation:

3 = -¹/₁₄×3 + b must be true

3 = -³/₁₄ + b

b = 3³/₁₄

Therefore equation in  slope-intercept form:

                                                y = -¹/₁₄x + 3³/₁₄
