Algebra.Com's Answer #13160 by elima(1433)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First of all we need to find the slope of the first line; \n" ); document.write( "m= \n" ); document.write( "m= \n" ); document.write( "m= \n" ); document.write( "m=-3 \n" ); document.write( "Now the perpindicular line to this will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal -3, \n" ); document.write( "SO the slope of the new line is; \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Use the point-slope form to find the equation; \n" ); document.write( "Y-Y1=m(X-X1) \n" ); document.write( "y-(-5)= \n" ); document.write( "y+5= \n" ); document.write( "y= \n" ); document.write( "So the equation would be; \n" ); document.write( "y= \n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand! \n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( " |
