Mathematics

Effectus [21]3 years ago

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (9,7) to (13,5), x increases by 4 and y decreases by 2.  Thus, the slope of line p is m = rise/run = -2/4, or m = -1/2.

A line perpendicular to p will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of p:  -1 / {-1/2}, or m = 2.

One example of such a perpendicular line is y = 2x + 3.  Here I borrowed the slope m and invented the y-intercept, b.

r=2\cos\theta
r^2=2r\cos\theta
\implies x^2+y^2=2x
x^2-2x+y^2=0
x^2-2x+1+y^2=1
(x-1)^2+y^2=1
