To calculate the slope of a line perpendicular to
Answer to Problem 10CP
Slope is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The line is perpendicular to
Formula used:
Calculation:
For slope(m’):
The lines perpendicular to each other, have slopes negative reciprocal of each other.
Hence, converting
Shifting the right-hand side and left-hand side values,
Cross multiplying the values,
Hence, comparing with equation of line,
Hence the slope of line perpendicular to
Substituting the value of m,
For equation of line:
To find the y-intercept (c), substitute x and y in the equation of line with the given point, that is, (5,7)
Substituting the value of m,
Shifting the values of right-hand side and left-hand side,
Hence, the value of y-intercept is,
9
Substituting the values of m and c in the equation of line,
Hence, the equation of line perpendicular to
