Undefined and Undefined
Since the equation is x = 4, there is no y-intercept as x will never equal 0.
Additionally, since the equation is x = 4, there is no change in x value and as such the slope can not be determined.
Slope is the change in Y over the change in X:
Slope = (6 - -8) / (5 - -3)
Slope = (6+8) / (5+3)
Slope = 14/8
Slope = 7/4
You just do 12•.65. Then that’s your answer.
Since our line is perpendicular to this line, the slope of
our line is the negative reciprocal of 1/4, which is -4/1.
Remember, negative reciprocal is just a fancy way
of saying flip the fraction and change the sign.
So the slope of our line is -4/1 and we use this slope along
with our given point to write the equation of our line.
Start with the point-slope formula.
Y - y1 = m(x - x1).
~Substitute
Y - -2 = -4/1(x - 5).
Minus a negative is plus a positive.
Y + 2 = -4/1x + 20.
Subtract 2 from both sides.
Y = -4/1x + 18
So, our answer is C.
