Answer:
The equation of line p is y= 1/4x +6. If line k contains the point (3,5) and is perpendicular to line p, find the equation of line k.
Possible Answers:
y = -4x + 17
y = 3x + 5
y = 4x - 17
y = 1/4x + 17
Correct answer:
y = -4x + 17
Explanation:
Using the slope intercept formula, we can see the slope of line p is ¼. Since line k is perpendicular to line p it must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal. (-4/1) If we set up the formula y=mx+b, using the given point and a slope of (-4), we can solve for our b or y-intercept. In this case it would be 17.
hope it help;)
