| Question 823380:  Find the equation, in standard form, of the line perpendicular to -5x+3y=3 that passes through the points (-8,-9). Write the equations in standard form.
 
 Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)
      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! --- -5x + 3y = 3
 3y = 5x + 3
 y = (5/3)x + 1
 ---
 perp lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so the perp slope = -3/5 = -0.6
 ---
 perp line contains (-8,-9)
 ---
 to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (given point and perp slope):
 -8,-9,-0.6
 into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
 ---
 x-intercept = (-23, 0)
 y-intercept = (0, -13.8)
 slope = -0.6
 ---
 answer:
 the slope-intercept form:
 y = -0.6x - 13.8
 the standard form:
 0.6x + y = -13.8
