Question

Determine the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 4y = -3x + 20 and passes through the point (-3, -2)

Answer 1

Change into slope-intercept form:

y= -3/4x + 5

We will be using the point slope formula to write the perpendicular equation:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y + 2 = 4/3(x + 3)

y + 2 = 4/3x + 4

y = 4/3x + 2

Answer:

y = 4/3x + 2
