-3x+9=y
There are infinitely many lines perpendicular to this line. All of them have the slope of -4/3, if that fact is of any help to you.
negative 1
If you mean: y = 3/4x-0.5 then the perpendicular equation could be y = -4/3x-5
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
Convert the equation 2y = 5x - 4 into standard form then y = 2.5x - 2. Two straight lines are perpendicular if the product of their gradients is -1. Let the equation of the perpendicular line by y = mx + b. Then, 2.5m = -1 : m = -1/2.5 The y intercept occurs when x = 0. Then -3 = 0 + bc : b = -3 The equation of the perpendicular line is y = -1/2.5x -3 or 5y = -2x -15
You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
As for example the perpendicular equation to line y = 2x+6 could be y = -1/2x+6 because the negative reciprocal of 2x is -1/2x

No, you need either two points, one point and a slope, one point and a y-intercept, or a y-intercept an a slope. You can also write the equation of a line with an equation of another line but you would have to know if it is parallel or perpendicular.
It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.
y = -x + 6
Yes, I could, if I knew the slope of the line given.
Solve the line equation for "y", to get it in slope-intercept form. You can immediately read the slope from this equation.Divide -1 by (slope of this first line) to get the slope of the second line - the one perpendicular to the given line. Write an equation for any line with this slope.
Line B is perpendicular to Line A if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of Line A.When a linear equation is in the formy = mx + b,m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. So, for example,y = (2/3)x + 5is perpendicular toy = (-3/2)x + 7.(The y-intercepts in these two equations are random numbers.)
