SOLUTION: If the line is perpendicular to 3x-4y=2 and B=2 then solve for A. Keeping in mind the equation Ax+By=13

Question 159308: If the line is perpendicular to 3x-4y=2 and B=2 then solve for A. Keeping in mind the equation Ax+By=13
Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's find the slope of the first line.
Convert to slope-intercept form ,

The slope of the first line is
Convert the second equation to slope-intercept form ,

But you know B=2

The slope of the second line is

Perpendicular line have the property that their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

We can plot both lines to check the answer and perpendicularity.
