Question 675820: Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to –5x + 9y = 2 and contains P(–8, 1).
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perpendicular lines have a negative inverse slope.
...
-5x+9y=2
9y = 5x + 2
y =
The slope is
...
The slope of the perpendicular line will be
Using the point (-8,1),
y - 1 = (x--8)
y - 1 = (x+8)
y - 1 =
y =
y =
y =
...
