Question 809479: fine the slope intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (-9,5) and is perpendicular to the line 7x+8y=2 Answer by josgarithmetic(39623) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the slope of 7x+8y=2?
Put it into slope-intercept form: ---------------The equation transformed. Slope is .
The line perpendicular to that one must have slope .
Using general form of the slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, solve for b. .
Now, use your given point, and the found slope, to find the desired line containing the point and perpendicular to .
