Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4 and passing through (-3,-5).

Mathematics

Tasya [4]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A line perpendicular to the given line has a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line.  

Rewrite the given equation in the format of y=mx+b, where mi is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0.

2x + 3y = 4

3y=-2x+4

y = -(2/3)X + (4/3)

The reference slope is -(2/3).  The negative inverse is (3/2), which will be the slope of a perpendicular line.  We can write the new line as:

y = (3/2)x + b

Any value of b will still result in a line that is perpendicular.  But we want a value of b that will shift the line so that it intersects the point (-3,-5).  Simply enter this point in the above equation and solve for b.

y = (3/2)x + b

-5 = (3/2)(-3) + b

-5 = -(9/2) + b

-5 = -4.5 + b

b = - 0.5

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4 and includes point (-3,-5) is

y = (3/2)x - 0.5

What is the slope of the line? Explain how you calculated the slope in the graph going through the points (-6,-3) and (-2,-8).
horsena [70]

Answer:

\frac{-5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula so y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 [the numbers are subscripts]  

So -8 - (-3) / -2 - (-6) so -8+3/-2+6, therefore -5/4
