Find an equation of the line with a x-intercept of 26 that is perpendicular
\n" ); document.write( " to the line given by 4x-y=3. Leave your answer in the form ax+by=c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4x - y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "put into the slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "-y = -4x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by -1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "slope of the line: m1 = 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular line slope relationship; m1*m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "4*m1 =-1
\n" ); document.write( "m1 = \"-1%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "m1 = -.25, slope of the perpendicular line
\n" ); document.write( "x intercept = 26, y = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 0 = -.25(x - 26)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -.25x + 6.5
\n" ); document.write( "\"Leave your answer in the form ax+by=c\"
\n" ); document.write( ".25x + y = 6.5
\n" ); document.write( "get rid of the decimals, multiply by 4
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4y = 26
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
