The gradient of the perpendicular line would be the negative reciprocal of the original line. Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be -2/5x.
Since we know y=mx+c, ∴y=-2/5x+c. Sub in the x and y values of the given point and we get that c=26/5.
The perpendicular equation would be y=-2/5x+26/5.
I hope I got this right.
Answer:
the answers is (0,-4)....
Answer: y = (-4/5)x + 8
Solution
The equation of line is
y = mx + b
Where
y = y coordinate
m = slope
x = x coordinate
b = y intercept
In order to write the equation of line we need to find the y-intercept (b)
substitute the slope (-4/5) and coordinates given (0,8) ,
y = mx + b
8 = -4/5 (0) + b
8 = b
So,
y = (-4/5)x + 8
I think it is z I could be wrong
Hi! The answer should be (5,0) (1,0) hope that helps!
