Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.
The point nearest the origin is (a,b).
The line from the origin through the point is
The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):
That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:
Answer:
Slope:
Y-Intercept:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To find the slope, we need to have the equation in slope-intercept form, which is . In this case, our equation is already in this form.
is what your slope is. In this case, our
2. To find the y-intercept we look at value that is in
. In this case,
is
. So, our ordered pair is
.
