Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to write an equation of a line which passes through the given point (-9,2) and is perpendicular to the given straight line y = 3x - 12 ........... (1)
Now, equation (1) is in the slope-intercept form and the slope of the line is 3.
Let, m is the slope of the required line.
So, 3m = -1
{Since, the product of the slopes of two perpendicular straight lines is -1}
⇒
Therefore, the equation of the required line in slope intercept form is
{Where c is a constant}
Now, this above equation passes through the point (-9,2) point.
So,
⇒ 2 = 3 + c
⇒ c = - 1
Therefore, the equation of the required straight line is (Answer)
Answer: Choice B)
We have some value m and we're squaring it to get
To undo this and isolate m, we apply the square root to both sides
There are two solutions here. This is similar to how there are two solutions in something like (those two solutions being x = 5 and x = -5). Squaring any negative number leads to a positive result because
negative times negative = positive.
