The equation, in general form, of the line that passes through the point (7,-7) and is perpendicular to the line 8x-6y+2=0 is , where A= B= C=
--------------------------------------------
Find the slope of the given line:
6y = 8x+2
y = (4/3)x + (1/3)
The slope of the given line is 4/3
---------------------------------------------------
Every line perpendicular to the given line must have
a slope of -3/4
---
Find the intercept:
Since the form is y = mx+b, -7=(-3/4)*7+b
-7 = (-21/4)+b
(-28/4)+(21/4) = b
b = (-7/4)
------------------
Equation:
y = (-3/4)x - (7/4)
