uhhh-

The straight line L, has equation y = 3X - 4.
The straight line L2, is perpendicular to L, and passes through the point (9, 5). Find an equation of line L2. Show your working out.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

We have y = 3x - 4 as line L.

Slope of line L = 3

=> Slope of line L2 = -1/3

We have y = -1/3 x + c as our line L2 equation.

When x = 9, y = 5.

=> (5) = -1/3 * (9) + c

=> 5 = c - 3, c = 8

Hence the answer is y = -1/3 x + 8.

The equation of required line [tex]l_2[/tex] is .

Y = mX+c

[tex]Y = \frac{-1}{3} x + 2[/tex]

Given, The equation of straight line L.

Y=3X-4

compareing  with the standard equation of line

Y=mX+c

slope of the equation of line L is [tex]m_1[/tex]= 3.

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

[tex]\rm m_1. m_2 = -1[/tex]

[tex]3.m_2 = -1\\m_2 = \frac{-1}{3}[/tex]

The slope of perpendicular line is  and it passes through the point (9,5). So the equation of the line is

[tex]y = m_2x+c[/tex]

[tex]5 = -\frac{1}{3} . 9 + c[/tex]

5 = -3 + c

5+3 = c

c = 8

Therefore, the equation of required line [tex]l_2[/tex] is .

Y = mX+c

Y = [tex]\frac{-1}{3} X +8[/tex]
