Question

the equation of the line CD is (y-3)=-2(x-4). what is the scope of the line perpendicular to line CD

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-1/2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to put (y-3)=2(x-4) in slope intercept form.

we need to do order of operations....

so we need to first do the parenthesis

x*2= 2x

2*-4= -8

y-3=2x-8

add 3 on both sides to isolate y

y= 2x-5

so now we know the y=mx+b form

this is one line...

now we need to find out what line is perpendicular.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals slopes.

y=-1/2x-5
