The gradient of the given line is 2/3. Gradient of the perpendicular is -3/2 The equation, therefore, is y = -(3/2)x + 5 or 2y = -3x + 10 or 3x + 2y - 10 = 0
It is a straight line equation in the form of: y = 3x-2
5
The equation in point slope of the line which passes through -2 -3 and is parallel to 3x plus 2y 10 is y=-1.5x.
If you mean: 9x+3y = 6 then y = -3x+2 and its parallel equation is y = -3x-5
The gradient of the given line is 2/3. Gradient of the perpendicular is -3/2 The equation, therefore, is y = -(3/2)x + 5 or 2y = -3x + 10 or 3x + 2y - 10 = 0
An equation such as y = mx + c is said to be in standard form. From such an equation, Gradient = coefficient of x = 3
y=2 + 3x seems like a linear equation, therefore, y=3x + 2.The gradient is 3.
If a line has equation y = mx + c, the perpendicular line has gradient -1/m A line perpendicular to 3x + y = 2 has equation 3y = x + c; the value for c will be determined by a point through which the line must pass.
-2
The one which shows a straight line with a positive gradient of 3 and crossing the y axis at 2.
Well, you can't really solve for x or y because you only have one equation, but you could get the line of the straight line:3x + 2y = 362y = 36 - 3xy = 18 - 3x/2Where the gradient is -3/2 and the y interecept is 18.
Gradient = (4 + 2)/(0 + 2) = 6/2 = 3 So the equation is (y + 2) = 3(x + 2) or y = 3x + 4
Gradient of line = (4 - 1)/(2 + 3) = 3/5 So general form of equation: y = 3x/5 + c where c is a constant or 5y = 3x + c' where c' = 5c is a constant The point (2,4) is on this line so 20 = 6 + c' so tha c' = 14 Therefore, the equation of the line is: 5y = 3x + 14
3x + 2y = 8 This is an equation. It could be the equation of a line.
With a line in the form y = mx + c, it has gradient m and the line perpendicular to it has gradient m' such that mm' = -1, ie m' = -1/m. A line through a point (x0, y0) with gradient m' has an equation of: y - y0 = m' (x - x0) which can be rearranged to a form for y = mx + c. Thus for the line 2x - 3y = 7: 2x - 3y = 7 → 3y = 2x + 7 → y = 2/3 x + 7/3 → it has gradient 2/3 → perpendicular line has gradient -3/2 → perpendicular line through (4, 9) perpendicular to 2x - 3y = 7 has equation: y - 9 = (-3/2)(x - 4) → 2y - 18 = -3(x - 4) → 2y - 18 = -3x + 12 → 2y = 30 - 3x → 3x + 2y = 30
To find the perpendicular distance from a given point to a given line, find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line which passes through the given point. Then the distance can be calculated as the distance from the given point to the point of intersection of the two lines, which can be calculated by using Pythagoras on the Cartesian coordinates of the two points. A line in the form y = mx + c has gradient m. If a line has gradient m, the line perpendicular to it has gradient m' such that mm' = -1, ie m' = -1/m (the negative reciprocal of the gradient). A line through a point (x0, y0) with gradient m has equation: y - yo = m(x - x0) Thus the equation of the line through (5, 7) that is perpendicular to 3x - y + 2 = 0 can be found. The intercept of this line with 3x - y + 2 = 0 can be calculated as there are now two simultaneous equations. → The perpendicular distance from (5, 7) to the line 3x - y + 2 = 0 is the distance form (5, 7) to this point of interception, calculated via Pythagoras: distance = √((change_in_x)^2 + (change_in_y)^2) This works out to be √10 ≈ 3.162
