Given:
Line a is perpendicular to line b .
Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) .
Line b passes through the point (-8, -16).
To find:
The equation of b.
Solution:
Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) . So, slope of line a is
Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.
Slope of line b is 2.
If a line passing through a point with slope m, then equation of line is
Line b passing through (-8,-16) with slope 2. So, equation of line b is
Subtract 16 from both sides.
Therefore, the equation of line b is .
