Question

The equation of line p is y+2=-8/9(x–2). Line q is perpendicular to line p and passes through (7,7). What is the equation of line q?

Answer 1

Answer:

8y = 9x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular means we take the slope as the negative reciprocal.

so

slope is 9/8

y=mx+b

b is -7/8

so the answer is

y=(9/8)x - 7/8

or 8y = 9x - 7
