Question 658422: find the equation for the line that passes through the points (-2,4) and that is perpendicular to the line with the equation y+5=-1/3(x-2) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the equation for the line that passes through the points (-2,4) and that is perpendicular to the line with the equation y+5=-1/3(x-2)
----
slope of the given line: m = -1/3
----
slope of the perpendicular line: m = 3
----
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
4 = 3(-2) + b
4 = -6 + b
b = 10
-----
Equation:
y = 3x + 10
