Question

Find the value of n so that the line perpendicular to y = (-1/3)X-4 passes through the points (n. 6) and (4,15).

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the perpendicular is the negative inverse of the slope of the line.

m = -1 / (-⅓)

m = 3

The slope between the two points is 3, so:

3 = (15 − 6) / (4 − n)

3 (4 − n) = 9

4 − n = 3

n = 1
