Find the equation of a linePassing through 2 5 and Perpendic
Find the equation of a line:Passing through (-2, 5) and Perpendicular to the line:-2y-x=-35 Find the x- and y- intercept for the line:-4x+7y= -56
Solution
3 a ) Line perpendicular to -2y -x = -35
2y = -x +35 ----> y = -(x/2) +35/2
m = -1/2
So, Line perpendicular to above has a slope = 2
So, y = 2x +c .Find c using point ( -2 , 5)
5 = -4 +c ----> c = 9
y = 2x +9
b) -4x +7y =-56
x intercept : plug x =0 ; -4x +0 =-56
x = -14
( -14 , 0)
y intercept : plug y =0 ; 0 +7y = -56
y =-8
( 0, -8)
