Question

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, 2) and (0, 1). A point is at (3, 4).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on given line: (-3, 2), (0, 1)

m1 = slope of given line; m = slope of perpendicular

Slope of given line = m1 = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (2 - 1)/(-3 - 0) = 1/(-3) = -1/3

The slopes of perpendicular lines have a product of -1.

m1 * m = -1

-1/3 * m = -1

m = 3

Slope of perpendicular: m = 3

Point on perpendicular: (3, 4)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 3(x - 3)

y - 4 = 3x - 9

y = 3x - 5

Answer: y = 3x - 5
