β 12y ago2y=-6x+8 Divide both sides by two
y=-3x+4 -3 is the slope. to find the perpendicular slope it is the opposite reciprocal. This is means that 1/3 must be the new slope. So the answer is:
y=1/3x+5

β 12y agoy = - 1/3 x + any number.
It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
No because the slope of the second equation is 1/4 and for it to be perpendicular to the first equation it should be 1/3
In its general form of a straight line equation the perpendicular bisector equation works out as:- x-3y+76 = 0
y = - 1/3 x + any number.
y=-x
y equals -1/3x plus 4/3
y = 1/3x+4/3
It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.
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
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
No because the slope of the second equation is 1/4 and for it to be perpendicular to the first equation it should be 1/3
It could be y = -x+5
In its general form of a straight line equation the perpendicular bisector equation works out as:- x-3y+76 = 0
