Answer:

y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the slope is

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-2 = (4-y)/(1-3)

-2 = (4-y)/-2

Multiply each side by -2

4 = 4-y

Subtract 4 from each side

4-4 = 4-y-4

0 = -y

0=y

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=−23x+5

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$y-1=\frac{1}{23} (x-8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point (8,1) and a slope from the equation y=-23x+5. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and slope.

Point slope: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$m\neq -23$ in our new equation because it us perpendicular to it. This means we will need to change it into its negative reciprocal which is $m=\frac{1}{23}$ .

We will substitute $m=\frac{1}{23}$ and $x_1=8\\y_1=1$ .

$y-1=\frac{1}{23} (x-8)$ .

This is the equation of the line perpendicular to y=-23x+5 that crosses through (8,1).
