Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (-8,-10) and is perpendicular to -8x – 3y = -16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I am stuck now. So far I have..
\n" ); document.write( "y-int: -16/-3= 5 1/3 (0, 5 1/3)
\n" ); document.write( "x-int: -16/-8= 2 (2,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Is this right so far?? Whats next? Slope?How do you plot it?
\n" ); document.write( "==========
\n" ); document.write( "I don't know what you're doing.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of -8x – 3y = -16 by solving for y:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-8/3)x + something, doesn't matter
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is -8/3
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative reciprocal, 3/8
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use y = mx + b and the point to find b, the y-int
\n" ); document.write( "-10 = (3/8)*-8 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -7
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "--> y = (3/8)x - 7 is the equation
\n" ); document.write( "============
\n" ); document.write( "There's no mention plotting in the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "=========================
\n" ); document.write( "PS Don't put a space after the comma in points (x,y)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
