4y = 3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE THAT A line that is perpendicular to another has a negative inverse of the slope of the other line. The products of their slopes, that is, is always -1

Therefore we can begin by finding the slope of this line defined by the function 4x+3y=9

3y = -4x + 9

y = -4/3 x + 9/3

y = -4/3 x + 3

The slope of the  perpendicular line is, therefore;

¾  - this is the negative inverse of -4/3

Now that we know the slope, we need to find the y-intercept. This is where x = 0 and the line meets the y-axis;

i.e (0, y)

The other given point, where the line crosses  is (-2, 3). Remember that to get the gradient we use the formula;

Gradient = Δ y / Δ x

¾ = (3 – y) / (-2 – 0)

¾ = (3 –y) / -2  

¾ * -2 = 3 – y

-3/2 = 3 – y

-3/2 – 3 = -y

9/2 = y           ←– This is the y-intercept

Remember the function of a straight line is given;

y = mx + c (m being slope and c being y-intercept)

y = 3/4 x + 9/2

4y = 3x + 18

The equation that represents the line  that is perpendicular to graph of 4x + 3y = 9 and passes through (-2,3) is y = \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some rules

  • The product of the slopes of the perpendicular line is -1, that means if the slope of one line is m, then the slope of the other is \frac{-1}{m}
  • The slope of a line whose equation is ax + by = c is m=\frac{-a}{b} , where a is the coefficient of x and b is the coefficient of y

∵ The equation of the given line is 4x + 3y = 9

∵ m=\frac{-a}{b} , where a is the coefficient of x and b

   is the coefficient of y

∵ The coefficient of x = 4 and the coefficient of y = 3

∴ a = 4 and b = 3

∴ m=\frac{-4}{3}

∵ The slope of the perpendicular line to the given line is \frac{-1}{m}

- That means reciprocal the fraction and change its sign

∴ The slope of the perpendicular line = \frac{3}{4}

∵ The form of the equation is y = mx + b

- Substitute m by \frac{3}{4}

∴ y = \frac{3}{4} x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

 of a point on the line

∵ The perpendicular line passes through point (-2 , 3)

∴ x = -2 and y = 3

∵ 3 = \frac{3}{4} (-2) + b

∴ 3 = \frac{-3}{2} + b

- Add \frac{3}{2} to both sides

∴ \frac{9}{2} = b

∴ y = \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{2}

The equation that represents the line  that is perpendicular to graph of 4x + 3y = 9 and passes through (-2,3) is y = \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{2}
