If the original line has the equation 2y = 7x then this can be written as y = 3.5x and the slope of this line is thus 3.5. Two straight lines are perpendicular if the product of their gradients is -1. Let m be the slope of the perpendicular line then, 3.5m = -1 : m = -1/3.5 = -2/7 The equation of the perpendicular line is thus, y = -2/7 * x + b where b is the intercept. As b = 5 then the equation becomes y = -2/7*x + 5 We can multiply by 7 to eliminate the fraction, 7y = -2x + 35 and re-order the terms to become 7y = 35 - 2x
2y = -6x +8 y = -3x +4 The slope of the perpendicular is the positive reciprocal of -3 ahich is 1/3. So the equation is: y = 1/3x +5 If you mean that the y intercept is -5 then just change it.
-2x + 2y = 4 is equivalent to twice -2 + y = 2 which is the equation of a straight line.
the slope will be positive 1.5x the whole equation is y=4.5+1.5x
3x + 2y = 8 This is an equation. It could be the equation of a line.
The second equation works out as y = -1/2x+6 therefore it is perpendicular
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
y equals -1/3x plus 4/3
what is the slope of the line that has the equation 4x+2y=12?
4x+2y = 6 2y = -4x+6 y = -2x+3 Perpendicular slope is 1/2
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
