Algebra.Com's Answer #14980 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the slope of any line perpendicular to the line through points(0,5) and \n" ); document.write( "(-3,-4) I started with y=0(x)+ 5, y=-3x-4 i am not sure what to do next. \n" ); document.write( "THAT IS NOT THE WAY FIRST FIND SLOPE OF THE LINE JOINING THE 2 POINTS ..IT IS..(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)=(5+4)/(0+3)=9/3=3 \n" ); document.write( "NOW SLOPE OF THE PERPENDICULAR LINE = -1/3 \n" ); document.write( "RULE FOR PERPENDICULAR LINES =PRODUCT OF SLOPES = -1 \n" ); document.write( " |
