Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 2x-7y=13 and which passes through the point ( -3,8).

Given parameters:

Equation of the line given  2x - 7y = 13

Coordinates of points = -3, 8

Unknown:

Equation of a line perpendicular = ?

Solution;

 To find the equation of this line, simply find the negative inverse of the given line.

         m  =

          2x - 7y = 13 , this is an equation of a straight line

  let us write it in the form y = mx + c so as to derive the slope

        y and x are coordinates

         m is the slope

        c is the y intercept

  2x - 7y = 13;

        -7y = -2x + 13

  divide through by -7;

             y = +

The slope of this line is ;

           Now the slope of a line perpendicular to it will be ;

  the equation of the line will be;

        y  =

Since the coordinate of this line is (-3,8) , let us find C;

     y  = 8 and x = -3;

     8  = (-3) + C

         multiply through by 2;

    16 = 21 + 2C

    16 - 21  = 2C

      -5 = 2C

        C  =

Now the equation of the line is;

              y  =

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes. 

step-by-step explanation:

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !
