Answer:

y = -15 + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

slope (m):

(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

7 - (-8) / 1 - 2

15 / -1

m = -15

point slope formula:

y - y1 = -15(x - x1)

y - 7 = -15(x - 1)

y - 7 = -15x + 15

y = -15x + 22

Determine the value of a so that A = 2i+aj+k and B = 4i-2j-2k are perpendicular

Digiron [165]

In order to make them perpendicular, their dot product must result in zero. so:

$4 \times 2 - 2a - 2 \times 1 = 0$

$2a = 8 - 2 = 6$

$a = 3$
