What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = x + 4? The slope of the line is ______?

1 answer:

8 0

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other. The slope of the given equation (which is in slope-intercept form) is 1, the invisible coefficient of x. The opposite reciprocal of 1 is -1, thus the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y = x + 4 is -1.

Hope this helps.

Write the equation of the line containing the points (3, 6) and (7, - 2) in standard form.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$y = mx + c \\ 6 = 3m + c...(1) \\ - 2 = 7m + c...(2) \\ subtract \: (2) - (1) \\ 4m = - 8 \\ \therefore \: m = - 2 \: sub \: in \: (1) \\ 6 = 3( - 2) + c \\ \therefore \: c = 12 \\ \boxed{y = - 2x + 12}$
