Answer:
y = 1/7x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find the slope.
- In this case, the equation given is in simplest form so you can easily come to the conclusion that '-7' is the slope. But, since the math question wants a slope-intercept form in perpendicular form, the slope would actually be 1/7.
2) Use the point-slope form and substitute the values available. Then solve.
m (slope) = 1/7
(a, b) = (14, 1)
y - b = m(x - a)
y - 1 = 1/7(x - 14)
y - 1 = 1/7x - 2
y = 1/7x - 1
The result is your answer.
Hope this helped (please tell me if I made a mistake or if you have any confusion and I will resolve it under the comments) ^^
