Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

1 answer:

5 0

Equation of the perpendicular
y= 2x+6
slope of the perpendicular = 2

slope of the req. line = -1/2

equation of the req. line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -1/2(x + 4)
2(y - 2) = -1(x + 4)
2y - 4 = -x - 4
2y = -x
y = (-1/2)x

this is your req. equation of line.

Given that $e = 4f + 1$ , and $e = 3f + 5$ , this first step can be to make the equations equivalent to one another. As you can see, each equation is equal to a constant, e. Therefore, we can conclude that the equations can be equal to one another as well ( transitivity ).
