Question

What line would be perpendicular to y − 3=4(x+2)?


A. y − 3=−4(x+2)

B. y − 3=1/4(x+2)

C. y − 3=−1/4(x+2)

D. y − 3=4(x+2)

Answer 1

The line perpendicular to y - 3 = 4(x+2) is y-3 = -1/4(x+2)

When are two lines said to be perpendicular?

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their gradient is -1.

which means m1 x m2 = -1

Analysis:

y - 3 = 4(x+2)

y = 4x + 8+3

y = 4x + 11    m1 = 4

so m1 x m2 = -1

m2 = -1/4

so from the options, the equation with a gradient x = -1/4 is C, y-3 = -1/4(x+2)

In conclusion, the line that would be perpendicular to y - 3 = 4(x+2)
