Question 447396
(-3, -15) and is perpendicular to -6x + 8y = 3. Thank you. 		
-6x+8y =	3				
Find the slope of this line 						
8y=6x-3		
Divide by 	8							
y= 3/4x-0.38				
Compare this equation with y=mx+b										
slope m =0.75		
The slope of a line perpendicular to the above line will be the negative reciprocal = -1.33
(m1*m2=-1)								m=
-1.33	,point(	-3,-15)			
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in				
y=mx+b										
-15=4.00	+b						
b=-19									
m=-1.33									
The required equation is	y=-1.33x	-19
