Algebra.Com's Answer #176975 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The rule is: if you have a line with slope = \n" ); document.write( "ANY line perpendicular to it will have slope = \n" ); document.write( "So, first you have to find the slope of your line. \n" ); document.write( "Get it into the form \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "You can see that \n" ); document.write( "Now you have to find \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So, ANY line perpendicular to the given line will have this slope \n" ); document.write( "The line you're looking for passes through (8,-9) \n" ); document.write( "The formula is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Or, if you like, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "I'll plot both lines \n" ); document.write( " |
