Question

(5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

The original Slope is y=-1/3x-2

The perpendicular slope would be y=3x+b

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Slope:

You already have the y-interecpet, (0,-2), and you know two points (0,-2) and (-6,0), so you can find the slope with (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) so in this case, it would be (0-(-2))/(-6-0)= -1/3 and you can find y=1/3x-2.

Perpendicular Slope:

The slope of any perpendicular line would be the reciprocal of the original. So the reciprocal of -1/3 is 3. The b can be any real number because no matter the y-intercept the slope would still be perpendicular
