Answer:
y=-9x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines meet the following condition:
m2*m1= -1 (a)
where m is the slope of a line
m1 is given through equation of line 1, y =1/9 x+2
m2 must be -9 -> from eq. (a)
The Line has the following equation: y=mx+b, where m=-9 and the b is the interception with y axis.
Evaluating the above equation in (-1,5) we have the following equation
5= -9*(-1)+b, we have b=-4
The line has the following equation
y=-9x-4
Slope intercept form
Answer:
[tex]y=-9x-4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line has the following form:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the y axis.
If two lines of slopes m and n are perpendicular then it is true that:
[tex]m=-\frac{1}{n}[/tex]
For the line [tex]y =\frac{1}{9}x+2[/tex] the slope is: [tex]m=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
So the slope of the perpendicular line is:
[tex]m=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{9}}[/tex]
[tex]m=-9[/tex]
So the equation is:
[tex]y=-9x+b[/tex]
To find b we substitute the point in the equation and solve for b
[tex]5=-9(-1)+b[/tex]
[tex]b=5-9[/tex]
[tex]b=-4[/tex]
Then the equation of the line in the form of pending interception is:
[tex]y=-9x-4[/tex]
