Question 334032: (0,2); 2x+9y=7 write the equation of the line containing the given points and perpendicular to the given line. y=mx+b format Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (0,2);
2x+9y=7
add-2x to both sides
2x-2x+9y=-2x-7
9y=-2x-7
divide by 9
y= -2/9x -7/9
..
slope = -2/9
..
the slope of a lin perpendicular to this line will be 9/2
..
y = mx +b
(0,2)
plug the value of x,y to get b
2= 0+b
b=2
y= 9/2 *x +2 is the line
..
