Question 702086: Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (4,6) and is perpendicular to the line given by y=x-3 Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What would the slope be of a line perpendicular to y=x-3?
The two slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. THAT slope then is -1.
You now have a point, (4, 6) and a slope, m=-1. You could use point-slope form for equation of a line and find the line or you could use formula for slope. I'll choose formula for slope.
If point #1 is allowed to be (4, 6), then
You finish from here yourself?
