Tabitha is trying to find the equation of a line perpendicular to y = 1 over 2 x − 5 in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (2, −7). which of the following equations will she use?

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

Step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

the slope of the given line is equal to

Step 2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line

Step 3

Find the equation of the line into slope intercept form

we have

substitute and solve for b

The equation of the line is equal to

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
