(0,7) 2x+7y=3 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line containg the given point and perpendicular to the given line.
(0,7) 2x+7y=3
-------------
The given line can be written in slope-intercept form as follows:
y=(-2/7)x - (3/7)
This line has slope = -2/7
---------------------
Any line perpendicular to it must have slope = +7/2
------------
The equation you want is y=mx+b where m=7/2, y=7 when x=0
That equation is y=(7/2)x+7
