Write an equation of the line that passes through the point P
and is perpendicular to the line with the given equation:
P(5,3); y = 5x + 2
I think its Y=1/5x+4

nope. The slope must be -1/5
So the equation would be Y=-1/5 + 4?
Not quite...
The slope is -1/5
So the new equations is y= -1/5 (x) + b
now sub in the point (5,3) and solve for b
and then you will have the new equation.
The slope is -1/5
So the new equations is y= -1/5 (x) + b
now sub in the point (5,3) and solve for b
and then you will have the new equation.
So it would be Y= -1/5x + 28?
