Algebra CAN SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright so take some graph paper, or go here: https://www.desmos.com/calculator then draw a line so that it makes a perfect T with the line that you drew. Use your knowledge of how to write out the equation of a line and you can just plug in a few points on the line to name your equation of a line.

I think it would be more effective to do it the manual way, but thanks anyways.

--------------------------------- Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line containing the points (-2, -1) and (2,-3). -------------


Thank you for your answer DJ-7809.

Hi LAPAPALLAJD,

I will try to explain how to do it manually.

No, changed my mind, I will give you a different question and then you can do this one by yourself

Find the line that is perpendicular to (-8,3) and ( -1,-5)

gradient = rise / run = (-5-3) / (-1--8) => -8 / (-1+8) => -8 / 7

The gradient (slope) of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal that is = +7 / 8

Over to you.
