<u>Answer: </u>

Equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3x-4 and that passes through the point (2 -3) is  y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

<u>Solution: </u>

The slope - intercept form equation of line is given as

y = mx+c    ----- (1)

Where m is the slope of the line. The coefficient of “x” is the value of slope of the line.

Given that

3x  -y = 4          

Converting above equation in slope intercept form,

y = 3x - 4 ----  (2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get slope of equation (2) is m=3

Consider equation of the line which is perpendicular to equation (2) is y=m_{1} x+b --- eqn 3

If two lines having slope m1 and m1 are perpendicular then relation between their slope is m_{1} m_{2}=-1

That is if slope of the line (2) is 3 then slope of equation (3) is  m_{1}=-\frac{1}{3}

On substituting value of m1 in equation (3), we get

y=-\frac{1}{3} x+b --- eqn 4

Given that equation (4) passes through (2, -3) that is x = 2 and y = -3. So on substituting value of x and y in equation (4),

-3=-\frac{2}{3}+b

On simplifying above equation,

\begin{aligned} b &=\frac{2}{3}-3 \\ b &=\frac{2-9}{3} \\ b &=-\frac{7}{3} \end{aligned}

On substituting value of b in equation (4),

y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

Hence equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=3x-4 and that passes through the point (2 -3)  is y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{7}{3}

HELP PLEASE for brainliest!!
marta [7]
-3 • (5x + 2y = 7)
-15x - 6y = -21
-2x + 6y = 9
__________
-17x = -12
x = 12/17
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 3.47
y = 1.735

chubhunter [2.5K]

tan(x) = 10/60

tan(x) = 1/6

tan(x) = a -> x = arctan(a) + πn

x = arctan(1/6) + πn

x = 0.165 + πn

Best of Luck!
