Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to AB and passes through Point X. Show all work for full credit

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation of line is y=(12/5)x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line AB is -5/12. The line passing X is perpendicular to line AB and hence have a slope of 12/5. The slope intercept form is given by y=mx+c.

Now, point X satisfies the equation. Plugging in the slope of the line we end up with

y=(12/5)*x+c, now to find c

-10=(12/5)*(-5)+c, c=2

Equation of line is y=(12/5)x+2
