Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the equation of this line, we need to note two things.
- A) The slope of two lines that are perpendicular will be opposite reciprocals (that is, multiplying them gets us -1.)
- B) We can substitute a point inside an incomplete equation to try and find a missing value.
So first, let's find the opposite reciprocal of 7 which will be the slope to this equation.
- <u>Reciprocal of 7:</u>
- <u>Opposite of </u>
:
So the slope of this line will be . The y-intercept will change, and we can substitute what we know into the equation
.
Now, we can substitute a point on the graph (14, 8) into this equation to find b.
Now that we know the y-intercept, we can finish off our equation by plugging that in.
