Write the equation of the line in standard form with integer
Write the equation of the line in standard form with integers only this perpendicular to the line 5x + 4y= 20 and containing the point (6,-8).
Solution
line perpendicular to 5x + 4y= 20 and containing the point (6,-8).
5x +4y = 20 ---> y = (-5/4)x +5 ---> slope = -5/4
slope of line perependicular to the above line : m = 1/(-5/4) = 4/5
Slope intercept form of equation : y = mx +c
y = 4x/5 +c .Find c using point ( 6, -8)
-8 = 4*6/5 +c-----> c = -8 -24/5 = -64/5
y = 4x/5 -64/5
5y = 4x -64
