SOLUTION: write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point. y=6x+10; (0, -4)

Question 683480: write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point. y=6x+10; (0, -4)
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perpendicular lines have a negative inverse, reciprocal, slope.
...
Using the line y = 6x+10, the slope is 6
...
A perpendicular line will have a slope of
...
use the slope and point (0, -4) to find the equation via point-slope
y - -4 = (x-0)
y + 4 = x

...
