Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line which has a slope of 3 / 4 and passes through the point ( 0, - 4 ).

Respuesta :

Answer:

y=-4/3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line which has a slope of 3 / 4 and passes through the point ( 0, - 4 ) is equals to [tex]y= \frac{-4}{3} x-4[/tex]

What is equation of line?

" Equation of line is defined as the equation which represents the set of points using slope."

Formula used

[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

m = slope of the line

c = y-intercept

Product of the Slopes of perpendicular lines  = -1

According to the question,

Slope of the given line = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Using condition for slope of perpendicular lines we have,

Slope of the line perpendicular to the given line 'm' = [tex]\frac{-4}{3}[/tex]

From given point (0, -4)

Y- intercept 'c' = -4

Substitute the value in the formula to get equation of required line,

[tex]y= \frac{-4}{3} x-4[/tex]

Hence,  equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line which has a slope of 3 / 4 and passes through the point ( 0, - 4 ) is equals to [tex]y= \frac{-4}{3} x-4[/tex].
