If it passes through the origin
If you mean 7 = 7x-3 then the perpendicular slope is -1/7 and the equation is y = -1/7x
That depends on the equation that it is perpendicular too which has not been given but both equations will meet each other at right angles.
Perpendicular slope: -1/4 Perpendicular equation: y-0 = -1/4(x-3) => y = -0.25x+3
2-3
-40
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of y and 7 it can't be considered to be a straight line equation therefore finding its perpendicular equation is impossible.
That would depend on its slope which has not been given.
If you mean y = 3x+8 then the perpendicular slope will be -1/3 and the equation works out as 3y = -x+9
Perpendicular slope: 1/2 Perpnedicular equation: y-5 = 1/2(x-2) => y = 0.5x+4
Perpendicular slope: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y--4 = -2/5(x-3) => 5y--20 = -2x-3 => 5y = -2x-14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
A walking path across a park is represented by the equation y = –4x + 10. A new path will be built perpendicular to this path. The paths will intersect at the point (4, –6). Identify the equation that represents the new path.
