Answer:
y= -3x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Put -2x + 6y = -4 into slope-interceltp form
Take the negative reciprocal of the slope.
Use this reciprocal in point-slope form
and you have,
= y= -3x + 8
<em>(EDITED)</em> Steps:
2x+6y = -4
6y=2x - 4
y= 1/3x + 2/3
if two lines are perpendicular,
m1 * m2 + -1
1/3 * m2 = -1
m2 = -3
the line perpendicular to this line is
y = -3x + k ; k ∈ R
the line passes through the point (5,-7)
so,
-7 = -3. (5) +k
-7 = -15 + k
k = 8
∴the equation of a line that passes through the point (5,-7) and is perpendicular to the line -2x+6y=-4 is
y= -3x + 8
Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
