You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
perp lines have negative reciprocal slopes, so the perp slope = 4/5 = 0.8
---
perp line contains (2,6)
---
to solve the linear equation, copy and paste this (given point and perp slope):
2,6,0.8
into the "Point-Slope form: x1 y1 m" input box here: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
x-intercept = (-5.5, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 4.4)
slope = 0.8
---
answer:
the slope-intercept form:
y = 0.8x + 4.4
