Answer:
The answer to your question is y = -11/2x - 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Point (-4, 3)
⊥ to the line x- intercept of 22 and y-intercept of -4.
Process
1.- Find the equation of the perpendicular line
This line has passes through the points (22, 0) and (0, -4)
Slope =
2.- Find the slope of the new equation
Slope = because the lines are perpendicular
3.- Find the equation of the new line
y - 3 = -11/2 (x + 4)
y - 3 = -11/2x - 44/2
y - 3 = -11/2 x - 22
y = -11/2 x - 22 + 3
y = -11/2x - 19
