You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1)Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes thru (-12,10) and is perpendicular to 4x+6y=3
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope, m, of 4x+6y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "To do that solve for y
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-2/3)x + 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "m = the coeff of x, = -2/3
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, = 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "Use y = mx + b and the point to find b
\n" ); document.write( "10 = (3/2)*-12 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 28
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Eqn is y = (3/2)x + 28
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Do #2 the same way.
\n" ); document.write( "2)Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes thru (-3,-15) and is perpendicular to -6x+8y=3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
