Question 665933: I am having a really hard time with this. Can you help me and explain in detail so I can understand how to do this? Thanks.
Find an equation line perpendicular to the line -2x-7y=7 having the same y intercept as -9y-4y=-6
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Starting with the line -2x-7y=7
...
Put it into slope-intercept form of y=mx+b

Yielding
7y = -2x - 7
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate y
y = which is the same as y = x - 1
...
The slope of this line is
...
(The perpendicular line will need to have the slope of , which is the negative reciprocal.)
...
Using, did you mean, -9x-4y=-6, put it into y=mx+b

Yielding
4y = -9x + 6
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate y
y = which is the same as y = x +
...
The y intercept is
...
(The new line will need to have the y intercept of (3/2))}}}
...
Plugging in the slope of and intercept of ,
the new line will be

...
Red line: new line
Green line:
Blue line:
...
