Hi! The answer is right scalene triangle! Hope this is right! :)
Answer: y = 3/2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation: For a perpendicular line, take the reciprocal of "m" and reverse the sign.
- 2/3 becomes +3/2
Then substitute the y and x values of the given coordinate into the equation and solve for "b"
y = mx + b
-2 = 3/2(-2) + b
-2 = -3 + b
-2 +3 = b
+1 = b Substitute for b in y = (3/2)x + 1
D because if you multiply y 8 times it will no longer be doubling the area
The slope of the line can be defined as y = mx + b, where m is the slope
To find the slope, one will need to use the expression Δy/Δx (y final - y initial)/(x final - x initial)
For this problem, that equals 1/3
Now we will use the point slope form
(y - y initial) = m (x - x initial):
y + 1 = 1/3 (x - 2)
y = 1/3x - 5/3
5. terms are separated by + and - signs
