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
