Algebra.Com's Answer #301879 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the equation of the line that passes through (-3.5) and perpendincular to a line 3x-6y-7 = 0 (p.s put this line in the form of y=mx+c) \n" ); document.write( "----------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "If 3x-6y-7 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "6y = 3x-7 \n" ); document.write( "y = (1/2)x-(7/6) \n" ); document.write( "Slope = 1/2 \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "Any line perpendicular to the given line must \n" ); document.write( "have slope = -2 \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Find equation of line thru (-3,5) with slope = -2. \n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx+b \n" ); document.write( "5 = -2*-3+b \n" ); document.write( "b = -1 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "y = (1/2)x-1 \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( " |
