The equation of the perpendicular line is y + 7 = -1/7(x - 3)

<h3>How to determine the line equation?</h3>

The equation is given as

y = 7x + 14

Also, from the question

The point is given as

Point = (3, -7)

The equation of a line can be represented as

y = mx + c

Where

Slope = m

By comparing the equations, we have the following

m = 7

This means that the slope of y = 7x + 14  is 7

So, we have

m = 7

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals

This means that the slope of the other line is -1/7

The equation of the perpendicular lines is then calculated as

y = m(x - x₁) +y₁

Where

m = -1/7

(x₁, y₁) = (3, -7)

So, we have

y = -1/7(x - 3) - 7

Evaluate

y = -1/7(x - 3) - 7

Add 7 to both sides

y + 7 = -1/7(x - 3)

Hence, the perpendicular line has an equation of y + 7 = -1/7(x - 3)

Is RS perpendicular to DF? Select Yes or No for each statement. R (6, −2), S (−1, 8), D (−1, 11), and F (11 ,4) R (1, 3), S (4,7
guajiro [1.7K]

I'll do the first one to get you started.  

Find the slope of the line between R (6,-2) and S (-1,8) to get

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (8-(-2))/(-1-6)

m = (8+2)/(-1-6)

m = 10/(-7)

m = -10/7

The slope of line RS is -10/7

Next, we find the slope of line DF

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4-11)/(11-(-1))

m = (4-11)/(11+1)

m = -7/12

From here, we multiply the two slope values

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = (-10/7)*(-7/12)

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = (-10*(-7))/(7*12)

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = 10/12

(slope of RS)*(slope of DF) = 5/6

Because the result is not -1, this means we do not have perpendicular lines here. Any pair of perpendicular lines always has their slopes multiply to -1. This is assuming neither line is vertical.

I'll let you do the two other ones. Let me know what you get so I can check your work.
