Question

How do I write one equations in slope-intercept form, and three other lines in slope-intercept form that are perpendicular to the first line ??

for ex. If I pick the equation y=2/3x+4 for the first equation. and for the second line , the slope -2/3x +4 , how about the 3rd and 4th line?
do i choose any other value of b or slope?


Thank you!

Answer 1

the slope has to be the same, so just choose other values for b.

The problem is, a line with slope -2/3 is not perpendicular to a line with slope 2/3.

Answer 2

So the total of 4 equation have the same slope but different b values?

Answer 3

No, that was not the assignment. You pick any line.

Then determine slope of a perpendicular line, and pick three other lines with that slope, but with different b values.

Read things carefully.
