Question

Consider the line y= -4/7x+2

Answer 1

Answer:

y=(7/4)x + 12, y=(-4/7)x -46/7

Step-by-step explanation:

first for the perpendicular line: we know the slope is the opposite reciprocal of -4/7, so m= 7/4. now we have y= 7/4 x +b. b is the y-intercept. to find b plug in the point (-8,-2). -2=(7/4)(-8) + b = -14+b so b=12. so the slope of the perpendicular line is y=(7/4)x + 12

parallel:

since the line is parallel the slope is -4/7. so we have y=(-4/7)x + b. next plug in the point (-8, -2) to find b: -2 = (-4/7)(-8) + b = 32/7 + b. so b= -46/7
