A perpendicular line has an opposite reciprocal slope. This means that the new line will have a slope of -4/3x. Plug in x and y into the equation y=Mx +b where m is the slope (-4/3):
-3=(-3/4)(-3) + b
and isolate b:
b-3=(-3/4)(-3)
b=(-3/4)(-3) +3
b=9/4+3
b=21/4
The final equation is y= -4/3x + 21/4
The y intercept is (21/4).
Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula 
. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:
Thus, the slope is 
.
2) Now, use the point-slope formula 
to write the equation in point-slope form (from there we can convert it to slope-intercept). Substitute values for 
, 
, and 
.
Since represents the slope, substitute for it. Since and represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, the end result will be the same) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (4,1), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the answer.
One of them is 13 and the other is 28
