Line A passes the points (-5,-13) and (1,-1). Line B runs perpendicular to Line A and passes the points (6,5). Find the equation of each line.

Answer 1

passes through I assume.

slope of A = (-1 +13) / (1+5)

= 12/6 = 2
y = 2 x + b
put either point in to find b

so
slope of B = -1/slope of A = -1/2

so
5 = -(1/2)(6) + b
5 = -3 + b
b = 8
so
y = -x/2 + 8
2 y = -x + 16

Answer 2

how did you get the slope of -1/ slope of A=-1/2?Is the slope of line a is 2?

Answer 3

That is the correct answer
