If you mean the point of (2, 1) and the line y = 3x+4
Then the perpendicular slope is -1/3 and its equation works out as 3y = -x+5
Perpendicular slope: -1/4 Perpendicular equation: y-0 = -1/4(x-3) => y = -0.25x+3
To determine the equation of a line that is perpendicular to another line and passes through the point (6, 2), we first need the slope of the original line. If the slope of the original line is ( m ), the slope of the perpendicular line will be ( -\frac{1}{m} ). Without the specific line's equation, we can't compute the exact perpendicular line. However, if you have options like A, B, etc., you can find the correct one by substituting the point (6, 2) into each equation to see which one satisfies it.
In the Cartesian plane, each point has two coordinates. Point 6 and point 8 are not sufficiently uniquely defined.

It would be perpendicular to a line with the equation Y = 1/8 X.
If you mean: y=3x-4 and the point (2, 1) then the perpendicular equation is 3y=-x+5

That would depend on its slope which has not been given.
Perpendicular slope: -1/4 Perpendicular equation: y-0 = -1/4(x-3) => y = -0.25x+3
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

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.
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.
In the Cartesian plane, each point has two coordinates. Point 6 and point 8 are not sufficiently uniquely defined.

Choose the equation of the line that contains the points (1, -1) and (2, -2).
If you mean point (-1, 4) and equation of 4x-3y = -9 then y = 4/3x+3 Slope of equation: 4/3 Perpendicular slope: -3/4 Perpendicular equation: y-4 = -3/4(x--1) => 4y = -3x+13
