Answer:

y = 8x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{1}{8}$ x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{8}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{8} }$ = 8 , then

y = 8x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, - 10 ) into the partial equation

- 10 = - 24 + c ⇒ c = - 10 + 24 = 14

y = 8x + 14 ← equation of perpendicular line

Choose the point-stope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

y-6 = -3(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is the following:

y-yo = m(x-xo), where 'm' is the slope and (xo, yo) is any point where the line passes through.

In this case, m=-3 and (xo, yo) = (-1, 6).

Therefore: y-yo = m(x-xo) = y-6 = -3(x+1)

In conclusion, the point-slope form of the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope of -3 is:

y-6 = -3(x+1)
