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)

2 answers

the given line has slope 8/3
so you want a slope of -3/8
Now use the given point, and you have
y-3 = -3/8 (x+2)

of course, we would have known that, since the given line also passed through that point. You can usually save some work if you read the data completely before starting.
