Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point ( 2 , 3 ) and is perpendicular to the line − 5 x + 4 y = − 3 .

Respuesta :

The slope of a line in standard equation will be [tex]\frac{-A}{B}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

The slope of a perpendicular line to this line will be opposite and reciprocal.

[tex]m=-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Then, we can plug in the point given to get the [tex]b[/tex] value.

[tex]3=-\frac{4}{5}(2)+b[/tex]

[tex]3=-\frac{8}{5}+b[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{23}{5}[/tex]

[tex]y=-\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{23}{5}[/tex]

Hope this helps.

頑張って!
