Which is the equation for the line perpendicular to y = -5/3x + 11 1/3 and containing P(-2,3) ?

Question

a) y - 2 = -3/5(x - 3)
b) y = -5/3x + 4 1/3
c) y = -3/5x + 4 1/5***
d) y = 3/5x + 4 1/5

Answer 1

the slope of the new equation must be the negative reciprocal of the slope
of the old one
slope of old = -5/3
slope of new = 5/3

The only choice you give that has a slope of 5/3 is the last one, so you know
for sure that the first 3 cannot be it.
All you have to do is make sure the given point satisfies the last equation,
since there is a possibility that none are correct.
So do that to make sure.

Answer 2

I did it and it looks like it worked. Can you check this one?
Which pair of slopes represents perpendicular lines?
a) 1/7, 7
b) 1/2, 2/4
c) -3/4, 4/3***
d) 1/3, 1/3

Answer 3

correct
