(I am going to assume you are higher or in grade 9 math)

So use the y=mx + b

Use the negative reciprocal of the "m"(slope) part. Do this by simply flipping the fraction. This slope will be perpendicular to the original formula.

What is the equation of the line passing through the point -2 -3 and is perpendicular to the line 4x plus 3y -5 equals 0?

Perpendicular equation: 4x +3y -5 = 0 Perpendicular slope: -4/3 Slope of line: 3/4 Point of line: (-2, -3) Equation of line: y - -3=3/4(x - -2) => 4y - -12=3x - -6 => 4y = 3x -6 Therefore the equation of the line is: 4y = 3x -6 or 3x -4y -6 = 0

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3xy6. Fully reduce your answer.?

The equation provided, "3xy6," seems to be a typo or incorrect format. If we assume you meant a line in the form of ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope, the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the negative reciprocal of ( m ). If more details or clarification on the equation are provided, I can give a more specific answer.

How do you write an equation for a perpendicular line?

To write an equation for a perpendicular line, first determine the slope of the original line. If the slope of the original line is ( m ), the slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal, ( -\frac{1}{m} ). Using the point-slope form ( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ), where ( (x_1, y_1) ) is a point on the new line, substitute the perpendicular slope and point to derive the equation of the perpendicular line. Finally, you can rearrange it into slope-intercept form, ( y = mx + b ), if desired.


What is perpendicular to the line 3x plus y equals 2?

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.
