Find the slope intercept equation of the line: perpendicular to 4x+5y=3 and pass through (0,5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the given equation first, put in the slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 5y = 3
\n" ); document.write( " put in the slope intercept form (y = mx + b)
\n" ); document.write( "5y = -4x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "divide eq by 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"-4%2F5\"x + \"3%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Slope m1 = \"-4%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The relationship of the slopes of perpendicular lines can be written:
\n" ); document.write( "m1 * m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4%2F5\" * m2 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "find m2, the slope of the perpendicular line
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = -1 * \"-5%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "m2 = \"5%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope form to find the equation y - y1 - m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m = = \"5%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "x1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y1 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = \"5%2F4\"(x - 0)
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"5%2F4\"x + 5; the equation of the perpendicular line
