Let's convert the equation in point-slope form to slope-intercept form.
y - 4 = -(x - 6)
Multiply everything out.
y - 4 = -x + 6
Add 4 to both sides.
y = -x + 10
To be perpendicular, the slope of the new has to be the reciprocal of the other line. To slope in this equation is -1/1. To get the reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator and change the sign too.
-1/1 becomes 1/-1, and changes to 1/+1, or 1.
y = x + b
Input the coordinate point and solve for b.
-2 = -2 + b
Add 2 to both sides.
0 = b
y = x
Answer: They were not correct it was bigger by 2.5 so the people were wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to have tracing paper or patty paper (cause that's what my teacher uses). Next you draw the figure along with the x and y-axis on it as well. Then you mark the x and y-axis and rotate the paper 90 degrees clockwise. Lastly if the x-axis is on the y-axis, mark it as the y-axis and if the y-axis is on the x-axis, also mark it as the x-axis.
I hope this helped :)
There are different formulas for each different shape.
