yes, the formula they appear to follow is this:
given: the slope m, and a point (a,b)
equation of line: y-b = m(x-a)
so the slope of the given line is 8/3
perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
So the slope of the new perpendicular line must be -3/8
follow my formula to state the equation.
20. Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point
y-3=8/3(x+2); (-2,3)
(is there a formula to follow?)
