On a coordinate grid, line is represented by the equation . Line is perpendicular to line and passes through the point . Which of the following is the equation of line ?
- A
- B
- Cevap
- D
- E
Cevap
The equation of line is .
The correct equation has a slope of and a y-intercept of . The slope of the given line is , meaning any line perpendicular to it must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal, which is . Using the slope-intercept form with the point allows us to solve for by calculating , which simplifies to . Writing this together in slope-intercept form yields .
