SOLUTION: 8x-6y=-2 having the same y-intercept as -6x+2y=4. I got y=8/6x+2/6 for the first problem, and y=3x+2 for the second problem. I'm lost as to how do I get the final equation. And

Question 1055929: 8x-6y=-2 having the same y-intercept as -6x+2y=4.
I got y=8/6x+2/6 for the first problem, and y=3x+2 for the second problem. I'm lost as to how do I get the final equation. And the final equation has to be perpendicular to 8x-6y=-2, with the same y-intercept as -6x+2y=4

If that's the whole problem:
" perpendicular to 8x-6y=-2, with the same y-intercept as -6x+2y=4 ",
then you'll have a slope and a point, which is all you need to get
an equation.
----------------------------

The slope is , and any line perpendicular to this one
will have slope

------------------------------
Find the y-intercept:

is the y-intercept, so now you have the point ( 0,2 )
-------------------------------
Use the general point-slope formula:

Multiply both sides by

---------------------------
check answer:
Does it go through ( 0,2 ) ?

OK
Here's a plot of all 3 lines:
( the line with negative slope is the answer )
