Question 1004367
Hi there,
2x-3y=4
Put in y = mx + c form
-3y = -2x + 4
3y = 2x - 4
y = 2/3x - 4/3
Slope = 2/3
Lines that are perpendicular
to one another have slopes that
multiply together to give -1
m1 x m2 = -1
2/3 x m2 = -1
m2 = -3/2
Using line equation
y - b = m(x - a)
m = -3/2 and (a,b) = (-2,1)
y - 1 = -3/2(x -(-2))
y - 1 = -3/2x + 4
y - 1 = -3/2x + 4
y = -3/2x + 4 + 1
y = -3/2x + 5
Hope this helps :-)
