Question

The equation of line a is y=12x−1, and it passes through point (6,2).
Line b is perpendicular to line a, and it passes through point (−6,2).
A: What is the slope of line b?
B: What is the y-intercept of line b?

Answer 1

Answer:

A). slope = -1/12         y-intercept = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/12x + b

2 = -1/12(-6) + b

2 = 1/2 + b

3/2 = b

y = -1/12x + 3/2
