Question

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through (4,−3)and (−7,8).

Answer 1

Line perpendicular to a given line is = 1/m

To find m, use m =y2-y1/x2-x1 formula

m = (8-(-3))/(-7-4)

m = 11/-11,

m = -1

Use y= mx+c to find equation of line

Plug in a pair of values,

-3= -1(4)+ c

c= 1

Thus, equation is:

y = -x+1

Equation of line perpendicular to this line is:

y= x+1
