Answer: [tex]y = \frac{3}{4} x +1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line has slopes that are the opposite reciprocals of each other.
Step 1: Turn the given equation into slope-intercept form.
Given: 4x + 3y = 6 → Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
[tex]4x + 3y = 6[/tex]
[tex]-4x[/tex] [tex]-4x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex][tex]y[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3} x[/tex] + [tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex]
[tex]y =[/tex] [tex]-\frac{4}{3}x + 2[/tex]
Step 2: Find the opposite reciprocal of the given slope.
[tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex] → [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step 3: Take the slope of the new line and the given point and solve for "b" or y-intercept.
y = mx + b → (-8, -5)
-5 = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] (-8) + b
-5 = -6 + b
+6 +6
1 = b
Step 4: Take the slope and the value for b and plug them into the slope-intercept equation.
[tex]y = \frac{3}{4} x +1[/tex]
Answer:
y = 3x/4 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the slope of the given equation 4x + 3y = 6
Subtract 4x from both sides
4x + 3y = 6
- 4x - 4x
3y = -4x + 6
Divide both sides by 3
3y/3 = (-4x + 6)/3
y = -4x/3 + 2
The slope of the given equation is -4/3
The slope of the perpindicular equation will have to be 3/4
Using slope intercept formula, we now have this
y = 3x/4 + b
Now plug in the given coordinate
-5 = 3(-8)/4 + b
-5 = -24/4 + b
-5 = -6 + b
Add 6 from both sides
-5 = -6 + b
+ 6 + 6
b = -1
Now we have y = 3x/4 - 1
