Question

If you are given the graph of a line and are asked to write the equation of a
perpendicular line, does it matter what the y-intercept will be for the equation
you write? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

It does matter because when it comes to perpendicular lines the equations for the lines with have opposite y-intercepts. So if you had y=2x +3 the perpendicular line would be y=-1/2x +3.

Answer 2

Yes, the y-intercept of the equation written does matter and can be determined if a point on the line is given.

According to the question;

• We are required to determine; does it matter what the y-intercept will be for the equation you write when given the graph of a line and are asked to write the equation of a perpendicular line.

Although, according to line geometry;

The slope of two perpendicular lines are related as follows;

• m1 m2 = -1

The y-intercept of the perpendicular line does matter when writing the equation of the line and can be determined if a point on the perpendicular line is given.
