Hi,
Find the value of "a" for which the graph of the first equation is
perpendicular to the graph of the second equation.
Ex:
y = ax - 5 ; 2y = 3x
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
2y = 3x 0r m =
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another:
y = ax - 5 m = Note:
a =
