Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we're looking at perpendicular lines, the slope of the new line is the reciprocal of the original line.
So the slope of our new line is
So far, we are looking at
Now we need to find the b value by plugging in the given point.
So the final equation is
Given:
The equation goes through the coordinates (6,5) and (-2,-5).
To find:
The values of A and B.
Solution:
We have,
It goes through the coordinates (6,5) and (-2,-5). It means these points will satisfy the equation.
...(i)
...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
Divide both sides by 4.
Put A=5 in (i), we get
Divide both sides by 5.
Therefore, the values of A and B are 5 and -4 respectively.
