Question 1126006: Asked to convert the following into standard form:
through (-4,3) perpendicular to y=4/7x-3
I worked it out in slope intercept to come up with the perpendicular line and came up with:
y=-7/4x-4
Then to standard from which gave me:
4y+7x=-16
Is this correct? Are these lines perpendicular?
Thank you!
