Given:
Line a is perpendicular to line b
.
Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12)
.
Line b passes through the point (-8, -16).
To find:
The equation of b.
Solution:
Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12)
. So, slope of line a is
Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.



Slope of line b is 2.
If a line passing through a point
with slope m, then equation of line is

Line b passing through (-8,-16) with slope 2. So, equation of line b is



Subtract 16 from both sides.

Therefore, the equation of line b is
.

No 5/8 is not greater then 2/3, 5/8 is just 1/24 smaller then 2/3.
The distance ( S ) is represented by the equation:
S ( t ) = - 16 t² + 25
- 16 t² + 25 = 0
- 16 t² = - 25 / · ( - 1 )
16 t² = 25
t ² = 25 / 16
t = √( 25/16) = 5/4 = 1.25 s ( we will not accept the negative value )
