Question

Passing through point (4, 9) and perpendicular to the line y= -1/5x -3

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is y =mx+b where m is the slope

y = -1/5 x-3

The slope is -1/5

Lines that are perpendicular have negative reciprocal slopes

-1 /(-1/5)

-1 * -5/1

5

The slope of the line that is perpendicular is 5

y=5x+b

Using the point (4,9)

9 = 5(4)+b

9 = 20+b

9-20 =b

-11

y = 5x-11
