It is: y = -1/5x-2
Known equation: 5x-2y = 3 or y = 5/2x -3/2 Slope of known equation: 5/2 Slope of perpendicular equation: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y- -4 = -2/5(x-3) => 5y =-2x-14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
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
It is -1/2
For the line 2x + y = 8 , the slope equals ( -2 ) so the required slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is equal to (+1/2 )
Put the equation in this form: y=mx+b. Then m will be the slope. 2x3y+6=0 2x3y=-6 3y=-6/2x y=-2/2x y=-1/x This equation does not describe a straight line, but rather, it describes a curve.
It is: y = -1/5x-2
It could be y = -2/3x+5
Known equation: 5x -2y = 3 or y = 5/2x -3/2 Slope of equation: 5/2 Slope of perpendicular equation: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y --4 = -2/5(x -3) => 5y = -2x -14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
