The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is y = –4x – 16.
Solution:
The equation of a line given is y = 0.25x – 7
Slope of the given line() = 0.25
Let be the slope of the perpendicular line.
Passes through the point (–6, 8).
<em>If two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes equal to –1.</em>
Point-slope intercept formula:
and
Substitute these in the formula, we get
Add 8 on both sides of the equation.
Hence the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is
y = –4x – 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both lines intersect each other 3 units above the x-axis, the y-value of the point of intersection must be 3.
Looking at the options, (-3, 5), (3, -2) and (0, -3) are all invalid points.
Haha me don’t know sorry okay
