Question

What value completes the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = (-3/4)x + 7 and goes
through the point (6, 1)? (1 point)
The line that is perpendicular to y = (-3/4)x + 7 and passes through the point (6, 1) is y = (4/3)x + ___

Answer 1

Plug (6,1) into y = (4/3)x + b:
1 = (4/3)*6 + b = 8 + b, so b = 1 - 8 = -7.

Answer: -7
