Question 955169: Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 7x + 3y = 18 and contains P(6, 8) Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 7x + 3y = 18 and contains P(6, 8)
=====================
Find the slope of 7x + 3y = 18
The slope of lines perpendicular to it is the negative inverse.
Call that m
--------------
y - 8 = m*(x-6)
In slope-intercept form:
y = m*(x-6) + 8
