Consider the line [tex] y=\frac{2}{3} x+1 [/tex].

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (-4, 5)

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (-4, -5)

Equation of perpendicular:

Equation of parallel line:

Respuesta :

we are given equation of line

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

Equation of perpendicular line:

Firstly , we will find slope of line

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

we can compare it with

y=mx+b

we get

[tex] m=\frac{2}{3} [/tex]

we know that

slope of perpendicular line will be -1/m

so, slope is

[tex] \frac{-3}{2} [/tex]

It passes through point (-4,5)

so, we can use point slope form of line

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

we get

[tex] y=-\frac{3}{2}x-1 [/tex]..........Answer

Equation of parallel line:

Firstly , we will find slope of line

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

we can compare it with

y=mx+b

we get

[tex] m=\frac{2}{3} [/tex]

we know that

slope of parallel line always equal

so, slope is

[tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

It passes through point (-4,-5)

so, we can use point slope form of line

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

we get

[tex] y=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{7}{3} [/tex]............Answer
