Question

Find the line that is perpendicular to y=16x+5
and passes through the point (1,−3)
.(1 point)
Responses

y=16x−32
y is equal to 1 sixth x minus 3 halves

y=−6x−9
y is equal to negative 6 x minus 9

y=16x−196
y is equal to 1 sixth x minus 19 sixths

y=−6x+3

Answer 1

Slope of y = 16x + 5 is 16, so a perpendicular slope is -1/16. Using point-slope through (1, −3):

y + 3 = -(1/16)(x - 1)
y = -(1/16)x - 47/16.

(None of the listed choices match this line.)
