Write an equation of the line that passes through point p and is perpendicular to the line with the given equation

1 answer:

5 0

Do you have the specific point??

Remember, if 2 lines are perpendicular, their slopes are opposite reciprocals. So if one line has a slope of 4, the other line should have a slope of -1/4.

Hopefully your equation is in y=mx+b form. If so,

make sure you know slope (m) and the y-intercept. After this is done, plug in the points from p for y and x, and make sure to turn m into -1/m. Solve for b, and your new equation should be y=(new slope)x+(new y-intercept)

Wewaii [24]

It is given that the triangle is isosceles right triangle . And in an isosceles right triangle the legs are equal . Let each leg be of x units. Now we use pythagorean identity, which is

$a^2 +b ^2=c^2$
