Let's find the slope :

taking :

  • y_2 = 6

  • y_1 = 8

  • x_2 = 4

  • x_1 =  - 2

now, we know the formula to find the slope, that is :

  • \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1 }

  • \dfrac{6 - 8}{4 - ( - 2)}

  • \dfrac{ - 2}{ 6}

  • - \dfrac{ 1}{3}

Answer:

\boxed {-\frac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed {\sf{Slope}=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}

\sf \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:8\right)

\sf \left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:6\right)

__________________

\sf slope \:(m)=\cfrac{6-8}{4-\left(-2\right)}

\boxed {\sf Subtract \:the \:numbers:-}

\sf Slope\:(m)=-\cfrac{1}{3}

Write the equation of a Line that is perpendicular to y=5/2x+3 and passes
koban [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of perpendicular lines = -1

y = 5/2x + 3

m_{1}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\m_{1}*m_{2}=-1\\\\

        m_{2}= -1 ÷ m_{1}

               = -1*\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-2}{5}

(-3 , -5)

Equation of the required line: y - y₁ = m(x -x₁)

                                                y - [5] = \frac{-2}{5}(x - [-3])\\

                                               y+5=\frac{-2}{5}x + 3*\frac{-2}{5}\\\\y+5=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}\\\\   y =\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-5\\\\   y = \frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-\frac{5*5}{1*5}\\\\ y = \frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{6}{5}-\frac{25}{5}\\\\\\ y=\frac{-2}{5}x-\frac{31}{5}
